The fire at the Pearl Dry Cleaners last week is under investigation by the authorities.

It is understood that the fire started towards the back of the shop, but that's all the information available at this time and an investigation has begun to find out the cause of the fire.

The residents in the flat above the shop smelt the smoke and called the Fire Brigade about 1130pm.  

Four fire engines turned up to the premises in the High Street and the fire was put out quickly, under one hour.  Residents were evacuated.

Many Teddington people were concerned about the fire and were contacting friends, family and neighbours to check on them and to find out more information after the fire.

Thankfully, no-one was hurt, however the shop has suffered a lot of damage.  It is now closed for refurbishment, which seems rather an understatement, if you have seen the blackened windows.  You can hardly see through the glass to the interior of the shop. 

If you have items at the shop, the owners request that you leave a note through the door and they will be in touch with you.

Teddington People send the staff all good wishes for a speedy re-opening.

    Does anyone have the mobile number of the owner of the dry cleaners. I have lost it and had clothing damaged in the fire. With thanks
