A DISUSED nightclub was damaged in a suspected arson attack on Friday morning.

Whitefield firefighters were called to the former Benny's Nightclub in Wharf Fold Road, between Bury and Radcliffe, at 1.30am.

Fire chiefs believe the vandals broke into the disused building before starting the blaze.

The fire spread to the roof of the single storey building.

Sub officer Bill Biles said no one was injured in the incident although it had been difficult for fire engines to get to the building because of a narrow access road.
