Wombwell social club torched

The Mitchell and Darfield Social Club building on Roy Kilner Road in Wombwell was deliberately set alight last Thursday.

The building, which was already boarded up, was badly damaged.

Four fire engines were called to the scene at 8.50pm and left more than two hours later.

A South Yorkshire Fire Service spokesperson said: “The building was badly damaged but not gutted.”

Meanwhile, on the same night, rubbish was set alight on purpose in Wombwell.

The incident happened on High Street and took a crew from Dearne fire station half an hour to bring under control.
