A once popular social club in Chepstow has been gutted by a major fire.
Last night shortly before 8pm (Wednesday, December 1), the Seven Bridge Social Club went up in flames, sparking a major emergency services response.
Crews from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, along with officers from Gwent Police, were dispatched to the scene, on Bulwark Road in Chepstow.
Fortunately it is not thought that anyone was injured - but the fierce blaze caused a significant amount of damage.
Pictures taken of the fire by David Barnes show the scale, and ferocity of the fire, which quickly took hold of the building, which is subject to plans for its demolition and subsequent replacement by a Lidl supermarket.
Below, you can check out a selection of pictures which capture the scene of the Severn Bridge Club fire.
