Around 50 firefighters fought a blaze at an abandoned mill, in Manchester.
Both floors of the two-storey 100m x 20m building were engulfed in flames, leading to the collapse of the roof.
The fire, which started at Overbridge and Springfield Mill, Strangeways, just before 10 pm on 7 April, took firefighters using five jets, assisted by a high reach aerial monitor jet, much of the night to extinguish. They were still damping down the next morning.
An investigation into the cause is underway.
