Downton Abbey
This Thursday a fire broke out in the Dalton Mills building in Keighley, West Yorkshire, which will be familiar to fans of the series ‘Downton Abbey’ because it was used as a backdrop in many of the original episodes.
This former textile factory, which is 137 years old, has also appeared in other British dramas such as ‘Peaky Blinders’ or ‘North and South’ and has been used as a film set for several Bollywood productions.
In the videos that circulate on social networks, you can see the entire structure engulfed in flames while more than a hundred firefighters worked on the extinction work. Consequently, the West Yorkshire Emergency Service last night advised residents to stay home and not visit the affected area.
At the moment the extent of the damage or if the structure will remain standing is unknown. It is also not clear what the origin of the fire was: if it was an accident or caused.
