There's been more bad news for Harrogate in a summer of minor trouble.

The cabman's shelter in Harrogate's Library Gardens on Victoria Avenue/Station Parade has been hit by a blaze.

Firemen were called last night before midnight to deal with the fire at the 19th century wooden shelter with its distinctive green and white colouring.
