Wellington Road in Greenfield has been the scene of fire brigade activity today (Sunday).
Smoke from what was the Donkey Stones brewery, accompanied by an acrid smell, led to residents being told to close windows and stay inside on Wellington Road.
A chemical specialist was summoned to the scene to confirm what the smoke/fumes are and if it is dangerous.
