The air in the city centre was so thick with smoke around 5.30 this evening that The Reporter met people coming out of offices near York Place believing that their buildings were perhaps on fire.

But the fire had taken hold in a disused church building on London Road//Taylor Place and 40 firefighters were in attendance to get it under control.

More photos and information from Twitter soon but these are our reporters’ photos meantime.
