A woman is being urged to come forward as police investigate a fire at a former factory in Nottinghamshire.

Emergency services were called to the scene at Victoria Square in Worksop at about 05:20 BST on 10 June after receiving reports a derelict building was on fire.

Six crews were required to bring the blaze under control.

Nottinghamshire Police said nobody was injured but "significant damage" was caused to the building.

A force spokesman said officers are keen to trace a woman who spoke to firefighters at the scene.

Insp Paul Lefford said: "We would urge [her] to get in touch with us immediately, as we believe she may know some crucial information that could assist our investigation."
