Sussex Police suspect arson might be the cause of a significant fire at the Yeoman pub in Goring, which occurred on Sunday.

The emergency services responded to the scene on Palatine Road around 5:20 AM.

Although no injuries were reported, the fire caused considerable damage, and investigations are ongoing to determine whether it was intentional.

In a separate incident, a major fire at an abandoned house in Eastbourne was extinguished overnight.

Fire crews arrived at the property, located at the intersection of Park Lane and Kings Drive, and found the roof fully engulfed in flames. The fire has been put out.
