Video footage of the fire at Fletchers Bakery, Hillsborough, Sheffield on Sunday 16 July 2006, from DeeJayOne. The fire burned for hours from around 9am. ๐ฅ Police blocked off most of the close-up areas around the incident and crowds gathered, but some decent footage still exists. In the footage you can see Sheffield Wednesday football ground from the Kop side. Huge plumes of smoke fill the sky over Wadsley Bridge, Wisewood, Foxhill, Parson Cross & Southey Green.

Fletchers Bakery on Clay Wheels Lane opened as a small bakehouse in 1923 and grew to a firm employing 650 people in 2006 when it suffered a catastrophic fire in July of that year. About 65 firefighters tackled the fire, which started on Sunday morning.
Northern Foods owned the bakery. The site had been put up for sale earlier in the year as a going-concern.
Director of communications Hilary Baker said: "It is obviously a very unfortunate event but it is too early to say what the effect on the company will be."
All of the bakery's 150 workers who were on site at the time of the fire had escaped injury, she said.
One worker told BBC Radio Sheffield how the incident began.
"One of the lads who works on the plant saw a couple of sparks from a cooler and then it just exploded," she said.
"Somebody said get out quick and they just ran and got out."
Fire crews remained at the scene on Monday morning to damp down the wreckage.
A South Yorkshire fire service spokesman said the premises had been "almost completely destroyed".
"It will be very difficult for the business to resurrect itself, certainly in the short term," he said.
During the fire, plumes of thick black smoke billowed hundreds of feet into the air over a large area around the bakery in Clay Wheels Lane, northern Sheffield.
The fire service has advised anyone suffering nausea or breathing problems after inhaling smoke to go to hospital.
A Rolf Harris mural was apparently destroyed in the fire too. The Rolf painting - an Aussie outback scene looking across a field guided by a battered fence down the left, and an overgrown tree (in predominently orange and brown with white highlights) was bought from auction of Sheaf Valley Baths in Sheffield City Centre (where the work was originally displayed) for around ยฃ1000 bo Paul Fletcher who subsequently had it hung on the premises of Fletchers Bakery at Hillsborough. When the building went up in flames during the devastating fire apparently so did the painting .

Sheffield Wednesday Football Club is a football club based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, who are competing in the Football League Championship, the second tier of the English Football League System. Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest professional clubs in the world and the third oldest in the English league. They won the second football competition ever held, the Cromwell Cup, which remains in their possession. The Wednesday, as they were named until 1929, were founding members of The Football Alliance in 1889, and its first champions that inaugural season. The Wednesday joined The Football League three years later when the leagues merged. Sheffield Wednesday were also one of the founding members of The Premier League in 1992.
Their main rivals are Sheffield United, the two clubs having contested the Steel City derby on a regular basis for some 100 years. Barnsley, Leeds United, Rotherham United, Chesterfield and Doncaster Rovers are also local rivals. The club has spent the majority of its history in the top flight of English football since joining the Football League in 1892 under the name of The Wednesday Football Club. They have won four League titles, three FA Cups and one League Cup, but their League Cup triumph in 1991 is their only major trophy since 1935. They did reach both domestic cup finals in 1993, but lost 2 1 to Arsenal at Wembley on both occasions. They also lost the 1966 FA Cup final to Everton 3 2, having led 2 0.
They play their home matches at Hillsborough Stadium in the north-western suburb of Owlerton from which the club gained its nickname, The Owls. The stadium was built in 1899 when the lease expired at the clubs previous ground of Olive Grove. The Hillsborough stadium is currently an all-seater ground with a capacity of 39,732.
Supporters groups include Wednesdayite, an independent football supporters organisation that owned over 10% of the shares in SWFC before the 2010 sale of the club, and The London Owls, an active supporters club for Wednesday fans living in London and South East England.
