Fire destroys old Horlicks plant

A fire has badly damaged buildings at the former Horlicks factory site in Ilminster, Somerset.

Crews who were called to the disused site in Station Road on Sunday evening, found the premises "well alight".

Six fire engines and a special appliance went to the scene. There were asbestos concerns, but no casualties.

The cause of the fire is being investigated. Horlicks Farms and Dairies closed its cheese production facility at Ilminster in 2001.
