Leathley Farm Shop and Cafe is officially reopening today (Wednesday) following weeks of reparations after a fire.
An overnight fire in the kitchen on 15th November caused extensive smoke damage to the venue on Harrogate Road near Otley.
As a result, tea towels stored in the kitchen combusted and melted the plastic tub they were stored in.
In a bizarre twist, the heat from the plastic then melted a water pipe, causing a large flood which was enough to avoid flames and dampen things down.

The venue closed whilst reparation and restoration work began.
And after 18 days of work from the Leathley team and its supporters, the venue is set to open again today.
Owner Rebecca Blunstone said:
“This wouldn’t have been possible without the most amazing family, friends and Team Leathley around us.
“Thank you isn’t enough. It’ll never be enough. For everyone’s hard work, support and belief that we could pull this off. We did it!
“Because Leathley isn’t just a place, it’s a feeling, and that feeling has returned today.”
