A derelict textile mill that has featured in period television dramas has caught fire again.

A dozen fire engines were sent by West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service to Dalton Mills, on Dalton Lane, Keighley, at about 14:45 BST on Saturday.

Police are also in attendance, but no casualties have been reported.

The fire service confirmed that "crews responded to a fire involving a large derelict structure".

A significant proportion of Dalton Mills, which featured in Peaky Blinders, was destroyed in a major fire in 2022, leading to two teenage boys being arrested and charged with arson.

It has been the subject of numerous smaller fires and vandalism since then.
