A PILE of rubbish in a Bolton town centre mill went up in flames in a suspected arson attack.

Firefighters were called to the empty mill in Spa Road at about 6pm on Saturday.

The fire was in a doorway on the first floor of the building.

Crews were on the scene for about 30 minutes.

Watch manager Karsten Boyle said: “It was a small fire so it was out fairly quickly. We secured the area and informed the police about the incident.”
