FIREFIGHTERS tackled a fire at the old Raven Inn building in Swanlow Lane last night.

Crews from Middlewich and Northwich were sent to the scene at 9.31pm on Wednesday.

They found that sheets of plywood were on fire in an outbuilding next to the disused Darnhall pub, which closed in 2007.

A spokesman for Cheshire Fire Service said: “Sheets of plywood on fire in a disused outbuilding were put out by firefighters using a hose reel jet.

“The crew then carried out a full inspection of the outbuilding and disused pub it was next to.”
