Portable toilets go up in flames
More than 150 portable toilets and dozens of tyres have been destroyed in a fire at an industrial estate on the outskirts of Gloucester.

It started on Saturday afternoon in a storage yard at the back of the premises on Bristol Road in Quedgeley.

Traffic was brought to a standstill and eyewitnesses reported seeing smoke for several miles around the area and flames up to 100ft high.

No-one was hurt and the cause of the fire is being investigated.
