Fire at Cumberlow Green

A fire broke out at Cumberlow Green Farm on Thursday morning in last week.

Shortly before 6 a.m. a man noticed flames coming from a large thatched barn. The Baldock Fire Brigade was summoned, and were soon pumping water from a pond opposite.

The Brigade saved the barn, but "stood by" until late in the afternoon.

Mr Borlase, the owner, was away from home.

[Note from Alison - This is one of the farmers involved in the court case reported in this issue.]
