Fire fighters tackle blaze at historic former cinema
About 50 firefighters have been tackling a severe fire at an historic former cinema in Birmingham overnight.
West Midlands Fire and Rescue service (WMFRS) crews were called to the old Royalty Cinema in Harborne at 00:32 BST.
Pictures showed the building on Greenfield Road, which dates to the 1930s, with smoke and flames billowing from the roof.
By 06:15 BST the fire service said the blaze was under control.
But its control room said the fire was still not out, and five pumps remained in attendance, BBC News reported.
