Stourbridge couple devastated by loss of home to wildfire

Robin and Loxie Williams have lived at the four-bedroom house, on Ounty John Lane, in Stourbridge, for 26 years.

They had been out with friends last Thursday but when they returned home their road had been shut by firefighters.

Now, their remaining posessions include a teacup, some paperwork and a few items of burnt clothing left from a pile of ironing in the kitchen.

Surveying the wreckage of their home, they told the BBC that on their return that Thursday evening they were forced to watch their neighbourhood going up in flames on TV.

“Somebody sent us a clip, which we couldn’t believe,” said Loxie, 78. “When you saw those flames coming out of the top you just couldn’t believe it.”
