A mill building in West Yorkshire has been gutted after fire ripped through the structure, needing 60 firefighters to contain the blaze at its height.

Fire and rescue officials said a car was set alight alongside the Jack Walker and Sons mill in Bradford late on Wednesday evening.

The fire quickly spread to the four-storey mill building.

Listerhills Road was closed as damping down continued and diversions were put in place.
