Firefighters called to secure 'dangerous' chimney at Foresters Arms pub in Beverley

Firefighters were called to secure a "dangerous" chimney at a Beverley pub on Saturday. Humberside Fire and Rescue Service was called to the Foresters Arms, in Beckside North, following reports of an unstable chimney stack. Four engines were sent to the pub, where a cherry picker was also being used to work on the chimney. It is not clear what caused the chimney to become unstable, but witnesses suggested the cherry picker may have been involved in an accident.
