Stinky's Peephouse: First pictures show destroyed roof after fire at former Leeds nightclub

The roof of former Stinky's Peephouse on Brick Street, Leeds, caught fire at around 7am on Sunday morning (August 4).

Roads around the area were closed and several train lines experienced delays and cancellations as emergency services worked to tackle the blaze.

West Yorkshire Police were present at the incident to help with scene management.

A spokesperson for the force later confirmed that no-one was injured in the fire and enquiries are ongoing into the matter.

The club has been empty since the mid-2010s, when it closed after more than a decade of fun and chaos, during which time it had also been known by the name of My House.
