Pictures shows the aftermath after the front of a house collapsed – with piles of rubble outside the doorstep.

Part of the front of a terraced house in Swindon in Wiltshire has collapsed today October 25.

Due to the incident, a long stretch of the A361 has been closed to traffic.

Fire engines attended the scene overnight but have since left – with some pieces of cordon tape still attached to nearby lampposts.

A Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: “We were called to Westrop in Highworth at 9.47pm last night, October 24, after the front of a terraced house partially collapsed.

“We mobilised a crew and a technical rescue team from Stratton.

“On arrival, they found that the occupants of the house were all outside safely.

“Firefighters remained on scene to support those affected and to isolate the utilities, with a crew from Swindon taking over at midnight.

“Gas engineers attended to fully isolate the supply from the road. Our stop was at 2.29am.”
