A fire has torn through part of a derelict pub on the Isle of Sheppey.

Four crews were called to the site of Alexander's, formerly The Nore and Cheema's, in St George's Avenue, Sheerness at 6.45pm.

Video footage shot by resident Rebecca Grisman showed the blaze had taken hold towards the back of the pub.

Emergency services shut the street and when firefighters arrived they found a "well-developed" blaze on the first floor with smoke billowing from the roof.

Crews wearing breathing apparatus entered the building and fought the flames, eventually leaving just before 9pm.

The cause has not yet been established. There were no reported injuries.

The Nore closed in 2012 and was turned into a restaurant called Cheema’s but changed name to Alexander's in 2017 before closing a final time in 2019.

Reports suggest it had recently become home to squatters.
