Police do not yet have a description of the suspected arsonist

A fire at a disused pub in Shropshire is being treated as a suspected arson, police have said.

Officers believe the blaze at The Swan in Waters Upton, on the outskirts of Telford, was started deliberately.

A description of the offender is not yet known but police are appealing for information.

The fire, which started at 00:50 BST, on Friday 18 September, caused substantial damage to the pub, which closed in 2007.

About 40 firefighters from from seven stations - Bridgnorth, Hodnet, Shrewsbury, Telford, Telford Central, Tweedale and Wellington - took four hours to put out the flames.
