Firefighters remained at the scene later in the day, still tackling the blaze.

Photos have revealed the damage caused by the fire, which caved in the roof of the building and left it almost destroyed. 

A spokesman for Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service said crews used breathing apparatus, main and hose reel jets, and a hydrant to extinguish the blaze.

Large clouds of smoke could be seen early in the day while firefighters worked to put out the fire. 

People living nearby were being asked to keep their windows and doors shut. 

Appliances from Loddon, Earlham, Great Yarmouth, Hethersett, Harleston, Wymondham, Beccles and Lowestoft were sent to the scene. 

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
