About 30 firefighters have been battling a blaze at a Lancashire mill.

The fire broke out in the old weaving shed at Oakenclough Paper Mill in Delph Lane, Oakenclough, near Garstang, at about 0900 GMT.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service sent six crews who fought the flames for two hours at the building, which is now used for storing animal feed.

No-one was injured and the cause of the fire is as yet unknown. An investigation is under way.
