A TERRACED house in Leigh, was badly damaged in a blaze this afternoon.
Flames and smoke from the fire at the council house on Wordsworth Avenue, Leigh, could be seen from a mile away.
The fire started after items were piled up in the living room and set alight, with the flames quickly spreading to the rest of the two bedroomed property.

Neighbours said that shortly before the fire started, someone was seen throwing objects at children playing in the street and then walking away from the house.
Fire crews from Hindley, Leigh and Atherton, searched the house after it was feared someone was trapped inside.
It took half an hour to bring the blaze under control. The house was gutted and adjoining properties were damaged by smoke.
