A large fire has broken out at a seaside pub.

Up to 35 firefighters have been tackling the blaze at the three-storey Londesborough pub in West Street, Bridlington, since about 13:30 BST.

There were no reports of casualties and no reports of people being trapped inside the building, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service said.

It is not yet known how the fire in the upper floor and roof areas started, the fire service added.

The fire service said there were no reports of any casualties

Eyewitness Susan Warren, who lives across the road from the pub, said she initially thought the blaze was a chimney fire.

"As we looked out suddenly the flames came and it just burst into flames," she said.

"It very, very quickly turned into a major fire."

Humberside Police said gas and electricity supplies in the surrounding roads had been shut off as a safety precaution because the building was unstable.

Plumes of smoke can be seen coming from the roof area
