A Great Yarmouth road remains closed 13 months after a fire decimated a former pub.

The Haven Bridge pub on Bridge Road went up in flames in March last year. Firefighters worked throughout the night to stop the blaze, and smoke could be seen billowing from the property as far as the Acle Straight.

Bridge Road was closed for two days following the fire, causing severe traffic delays in the town.

Once the pub had been secured by KB Scaffolding, Bridge Road reopened. 

However, 13 months later, Steam Mill Lane remains closed, and the pub stands untouched with scaffolding surrounding the perimeter.

A spokesperson from Norfolk County Council said the scaffolding is licensed until May 16, but may be extended again. 

Steam Mill Lane is expected to be closed until October 20, 2023.

At the end of last year, KB Scaffolding owner Mickey Black said he was seeking legal action as he had yet to be paid for the scaffolding at the building by either the building owner or Great Yarmouth Borough Council.

The bill stands at more than £100,000.
