The fire started at Northgate Antiques and Collectibles Centre. It was contained within an inner courtyard and flat roof after two pallets had caught fire.

Fire crews were called out to the fire, on the corner of Moat Street, just after 13:15 on Wednesday.

Firefighters used a hose reel and a reciprocating saw to expose roof timbers to put out the fire.

They sent two fire appliances from Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock.

Windows from the building had to be replaced, but there was no further damage.

An incident support unit and operations officer were also in attendance.
