Firefighters remained at the scene later in the day, still tackling the blaze.

Photos have revealed the damage caused by the fire, which caved in the roof of the building and left it almost destroyed. 

A spokesman for Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service said crews used breathing apparatus, main and hose reel jets, and a hydrant to extinguish the blaze.
