Firefighters have released more photos from the scene of the massive fire which ripped through the former site of Broadmoor Hospital in Crowthorne.

The fire broke out yesterday morning (May 25), and was not brought under control until around 3pm.

Two aerial ladder platforms were deployed to help put out the blaze.

At the height of the incident, some 40 firefighters were deployed at the scene.

The site in question has lain derelict for years, so the fire posed no risk to patients or staff.

Paul Bremble, area manager for the Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: "This was a significant fire at a derelict building on the old Broadmoor Hospital site, which required a large response from our Service and our partners.

"Although there was significant damage inside the building, crews worked effectively to contain the fire and prevent it spreading."
