Saw this whilst at the pub this dinnertime over at Hackenthorpe, the smoke had covered the sky above the pub in about an hour, was weird

All I can say is thank goodness the wind was blowing the way it was. I don't live far from there and having to shut the windows on a day like today

A pic I took from the high street:

Looks just like a photo i took from the tram stop just up the road

Drove past, got a couple of really bad photo's

.

Seemed quite bad, just going on the amount of smoke, however that could be more to do with it being a plastic factory than a bad fire.

It wasn't Nibble's Pizza was it? I hope that shop is still there when I go back for a visit soon.

Some of the finest take away Pizza in Sheffield. I've been going there more or less since it opened over 20 years ago

Just thinking about their pizza is causing me to drip buckets of saliva. It's been 6 years already...
