Fire crews tackled a huge blaze at a pub in Tameside.
The fire erupted at the Flowery Field pub in Hyde just after 8.15pm on Friday.
Pictures from the scene showed bright orange flames lapping up from the roof of the derelict boozer on Furnace Street.
Smoke could be seen billowing from the building, which is said to have been shut around 18 months ago.
Around 40 firefighters from Hyde, Stockport, Gorton, Ashton, and Hollins were drafted in as part of the operation, which saw the road in front of the pub taped off.
Firefighters wearing specialist breathing gear brought the blaze under control.
An aerial appliance was also used to dump water on from above.
The fire was eventually extinguished in the early hours of this morning a spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said.
No one is said to have been injured.
Firefighters remained at the scene until early this morning and fire investigators have now begun their enquiries into how the blaze started, the spokeswoman added.
