Late afternoon saw a huge pillar of smoke appear in the mid-distance somewhere beyond Fords.....

By 1630 it had escalated into a truly epic blaze with the flames being visible above the large warehouse in Coldharbour Lane some two miles or so closer to us!  Thankfully the wind was taking black smoke high and north east and it was not causing trouble with the traffic on the A13 as it headed towards the reserve.

I wonder what it was?
