A farm shop has been "completely destroyed" in a fire overnight, emergency services workers at the scene have said.

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was called to Wenlock Edge Farm on East Wall, Much Wenlock, just before 03:00 BST on Monday.

The blaze involved a single-storey industrial building that also contained the farm shop, Craig Jackson, a fire investigation officer, told the BBC.

The building had suffered 95% damage and had been "completely destroyed", but no one had been injured, Mr Jackson said.

He added that the cause of the fire was still being investigated.

Thirty firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze in the small hours of the morning.

Mr Jackson said the farm's owners had called the fire service after being alerted by neighbours.
