Jordanthorpe Parkway Sheffield fire: Huge blaze at former Sheffield social club believed to have been deliberately started UK News

Two fire crews from Central and one from the Lowedges fire stations attended the blaze and left the scene around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.

“However, a crew returned just to check that it had not reignited,” the spokeswoman added.

The Boundary Club was once a thriving venue, home to Abbey Lane Junior Football Club and a number of senior amateur teams.

The premises were already empty, with the club having moved elsewhere, before the building was destroyed by yobs in 2017.

In 2019, the six-acre plot was put on the market with a guide price of £250,000-£300,000.

It was described at the time as an opportunity for residential or mixed-use development, with the business case stating that such a project was “fully possible, but will take time”.

Nicholson and Co, which handled the sale, said at the time that 23 bids had been received “across a wide range of sums and intended uses”.

The firm added: “The site will be safe and secure now.”
