The lorry crashed into the building at about 07:00 GMT
A lorry has crashed into a former post office in a Norfolk village.
The livestock transporter struck the Old Post Office, which was empty, on a hairpin bend in Binham, near Holt, at 07:00 GMT.
Norfolk Police said the building, which dated from 1923 and stood in the centre of the village, then collapsed around the vehicle.
No-one was injured. A clean-up operation is under way and the road reopened by noon.
Police said the lorry driver and property owner had exchanged details and there would be no further police involvement.
BBC Radio Norfolk reporter Jill Bennett, at the scene, said the elderly owners of the Old Post Office were too upset to talk but neighbours were rallying to help.
She described the ruins of the building as "a heap of bricks and tiles", with one gable end and a red brick chimney still standing.
The date stone had been found and saved.
The collapsed building, pictured with a green door, was the village's old post office and was more than 90 years old
