As im sure many of you have heard, we had a very lucky escape last night, when a bag of towels spontaneously combust at 10.30pm last night, luckily it was spotted and reported quickly. There is no damage to anybody else's things that are with us, unfortunately the bag of towels is now a bag of ash. We have stayed closed today to clean there was a lot of smoke damage, so every item that is with us, has been washed and dried again. We have cleaned from top to bottom. So we are now back open as usual. The shop still smells of smoke but unfortunately theres nothing we can do about that other than keep airing it out.
I just want to say a massive thankyou to Sally Schofield New, Asif and mytholmroyd and Halifax fire service for getting there so fast and stopping absolutely devastation from happening. I will be forever grateful to you all.
Huge thanks to Rachel, Sally (again) and Genie, for helping with the huge clean up operation today appreciate you all massively. Thankyou 😊
