Firefighters have been tackling a fire at a laundrette in Worcester.

At its height, eight appliances and an aerial ladder platform were sent to the premises on Everoak Industrial Estate.

Smoke was seen coming from Priory Laundry shortly before 05:00 GMT, and it took a "couple of hours" to put the fire out, said fire service group commander Amy Bailey.

There were no casualties, and the fire was prevented from spreading to other buildings.
