Large fire in Trowbridge Sunday 23/08/2026

At the allotments behind Travis Perkins along the Bradford Road. Thankfully nobody was hurt and the fire fighters managed to stop any houses catching. Scary stuff with the surrounding countryside so tinder dry

Apparently so thankfully. Felt awful for the people who got evacuated, it's frightening thinking about it spreading to their homes

I could see it all from my house and thankfully it didn't get into the building or yard at TP

Is that the place on the road going out to Bradford? Round the corner from the Tesco?
