These pictures show the devastating damage to a garden shed in Downley after a large fire gutted the wooden structure, last night.

Panicked neighbours called Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue after spotting growing flames coming from the back garden of a house in School Close at about 9.15pm, yesterday.

Residents earlier described it as a “vicious” blaze and said despite the damage they were happy it was caught before it spread towards adjacent houses.
