Eyewitnesses have been speaking of their shock after a major fire at East Tilbury Library, which houses the Bata Heritage Centre.

The blaze happened in the early hours of this morning after a Ford car was seen hitting the site's front door.

The building was badly damaged. Essex firefighters say the blaze was started deliberately. 

Bianca Watts saw what happened and reported the fire to the emergency services.

"I went out at about 04:20 and called the police and fire service," she said. "At first the fire was small, but after I made the call the whole of the car was on fire."

The chairman of a heritage centre based in East Tilbury Library, which was damaged after a car was driven into the building and set alight, has spoken of his "devastation" at the loss of parts of the collection.

Mike Tarbard is in charge of the Bata Heritage Centre, which remembers the role the British Bata Shoe Company played in the development of East Tilbury.

The firm opened its factory in the 1930s and at its height in the 1960s employed more than 3,000 people in the town.

Mr Tarbard told BBC Essex that items connected to the history of the firm and the community that grew up around it were in display cases near the entrance to the library.

He said the items may be of little monetary value but were "priceless" to the community.

"It is devastating," he said. "We have lost everything in display cabinets. The bigger problem is the loss to the community of a meeting place and library and the use of computers."

Mr Tarbard said the group was still assessing what may have been lost, but it was vital that this resource for local history continued to exist.

"If it was not for the factory, this community would not have existed," he said. "It closed in the 2000s but a library manager thought there was story to tell and started the centre."

The car was reversed through the front doors of East Tilbury Library, which houses the Bata Heritage Centre, in the early hours of this morning.
