Homes evacuated during mill fire
Fire investigators are trying to find the cause of a large blaze at a former cotton mill in Greater Manchester.
Up to 60 firefighters and eight fire engines were called to tackle the fire at Hooley Bridge Mill on Bamford Road in Heywood at 2108 GMT on Saturday.
Several residents had to be moved from nearby homes, said the Manchester Fire and Rescue service.
The five-storey mill had been converted into small businesses units. The fire was put out just before 2400 GMT.
