Firefighters dig through burned Camden market

? Firefighters dug through the wreckage of London’s famed Camden market Sunday trying to determine what sparked a massive blaze that caused extensive damage to the market and area buildings.

It took 100 firefighters three hours to put out the fire Saturday night. There were no casualties, but the blaze damaged clothing and craft market stalls.

The Hawley Arms, a pub popular with celebrities such as singer Amy Winehouse, rocker Pete Doherty and model Kate Moss, was among the buildings seriously damaged in the fire.

“In a word, I’m devastated,” Ruth Charles-Ridler, the pub’s landlady, said as she arrived at the scene to assess the damage Sunday morning. “Everyone I’ve spoken to is in complete shock.

“This was a good community pub where everybody knew everybody else,” she said. “It is a great loss to Camden Town.”

The bustling commercial and residential area in north London, with its open markets and a scenic canal, is one of the British capital’s top shopping and tourist destinations.
