Photographs show the aftermath of a major fire at a block of flats.

Residents at The Waterfront, Goring, had to be evacuated from their homes after the fire broke out just before 2am on Monday.

Crews from Worthing, Littlehampton, Lancing, Easton Preston as well as firefighters from East Sussex attended the incident which took hours to get under control.

A 60-year-old man from Worthing was arrested later on Monday on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.

Enquiries are ongoing, alongside the fire service, into the full circumstances of the incident. Anyone with any information has been asked to contact police online or via 101, quoting serial 87 of 26/08.

Images taken today show a burnt out flat at the top of the building.

The walls of the building have been blackened by smoke.
