THESE dramatic images show the true size of the fire which broke out in Newton-le-Willows yesterday, Wednesday.
At its peak, more than 20 fire engines responded to the blaze on Sankey Valley Industrial Estate, with smoke seen for miles across Warrington.
A full investigation into the cause of the fire took place this afternoon, Thursday, and it was determined to be an accident.
Crews finally left the scene at 1.29pm, more than 24 hours after it first started.
