Firefighters have put out a large blaze at a former pub in a Nottinghamshire town.

Crews were called to The Blue Bell in Mansfield Road, Sutton-in Ashfield, just after 15:00 GMT on Wednesday.

Firefighters tackling the blaze shut Mason Street and Mansfield Road but these were reopened at about 18:00 after the flames had been extinguished.

The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained and no injuries have been reported so far.

A number of pictures, posted on social media by the fire service, showed severe damage to the building's roof.
