A man has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a historic pub was gutted by fire.
Fire crews were called to the Grade II-listed Worlds End pub in Tilbury, Essex, at 4.40pm on Wednesday and brought the blaze under control by 6.30pm.
Diarist Samuel Pepys and author Daniel Defoe are said to have drank at the pub, which lies on the River Thames near Tilbury docks and was previously an inn used by sailors and travellers.
