Fire at former Royalty Cinema on Harborne high street

Firefighters are dealing with a blaze at a former cinema in Birmingham.

Three appliances have been at the old Royalty Cinema by the High Street in Harborne, after the fire service was called at about 18:55 BST.

Firefighters – including two with breathing apparatus – from Bournbrook, Ladywood and Woodgate Valley are at the scene.

A fire ripped through the site in September 2018 when smoke and flames were seen billowing from the roof of the building, which dates from the 1930s.
