An industrial fire that severely damaged a building in Nottinghamshire has been brought under control, emergency services have said.

A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said crews were called to the building in Kirklington Road, Bilsthorpe, at 04:41 BST on Tuesday.

At its height, seven fire engines and their crews tackled the fire, the spokesperson added.
