The three shops - Krown Tanning & Beauty, Flowers & Gifts 2 Go, and N&D Salon - were gutted by the flames, which quickly spread from business to business and were only halted by a brick wall separating it from a fish and chip shop next door.

Now, nearly two weeks on, South Yorkshire Police has confirmed they are yet to make any arrests or charge anyone over the devastating blaze.

The fire took six fire engines and one aerial platform to extinguish.

It also destroyed a painted façade at the end of the row of shops proclaiming ’Manor Park Proud,’ which was brought crashing to earth.

The sheer damage can be seen behind the row of shops, and photos show how all three businesses have been irrevocably gutted.

South Yorkshire Police said anyone with information should call 101, quoting incident number 15 of May 12, 2025.
