Firefighters to re-inspect scrapyard blaze

Firefighters are returning to the scene of a blaze at a former scrapyard in Derby to carry out further investigations.

Six fire crews from stations in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire were called to the site of Albert Looms on Megaloughton Lane, Spondon, at about 17:05 BST on Sunday.

The business had closed in 2024 after more than a century of trading.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said they left the scene at about 23:00 on Sunday and will be returning on Monday morning to re-inspect the site.
