A fire at a derelict Sheffield pub that saw four engines scramble to the scene last night is believed to have been an arson attack, officials have said.

South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue were called to the abandoned Ball Inn, on Myrtle Road, at around 5pm yesterday (February 28) to reports of a blaze.

Photos showed smoke billowing out of the derelict Heeley pub, which has been closed for years.

The fire service say they now believe the blaze was the result of “deliberate ignition”.
