Firefighters are dealing with the aftermath of a huge blaze near the Manchester Fort shopping park in Cheetham Hill.

Eight fire engines and two aerial platforms were scrambled to the scene shortly before 10pm on Tuesday night in Bradstone Road.

Images shared on social media showed a huge plume of smoke and flames reaching up into the night sky and visible for miles.

The fire was on an industrial estate on Bradstone Road, off Broughton Road and Cheetham Hill Road, across the road from Manchester Fort.
