The Ball Tree pub
A fire which started at a derelict pub is being investigated.
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service sent crews to the Ball Tree, in Western Road, Sompting, near Worthing, at about 10.30pm yesterday.
The ground floor of the two-storey building was severely damaged by the blaze and the rest of the building suffered heat and smoke damage.
Crews used four pumps to douse the flames and left the scene just after midnight.
A West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said no one was injured.
