Aerial views of fire-destroyed houses and scorched fields at Norton, Stourbridge, on 15 August 2026

Detached houses burnt down to their brick shells beside blackened fields at Norton, Stourbridge, West Midlands, on 15 August 2026. Drone footage directly overhead and from lower oblique angles showing burnt-out houses standing immediately alongside homes that appear untouched, with hose lines still lying across paths and gardens and burnt ground reaching to garden fences and an emptied swimming pool. Sot on a DJI drone at a 7mm wide setting, which is what puts whole streets and the surrounding burnt fields in one picture.
