Emergency services remain at the scene of a fire that happened in Abergavenny on Sunday 10th November.

The fire, at the back of The Magic Cottage Charity Shop on Frogmore Street, was reported to police at around 8.35pm.

No injuries have been reported at this time but due to safety concerns, and the risk of potential further collapse of the building, cordons are still in place.

Experts are carrying out a review of the structure of the building and cordons will be reviewed throughout the day to try and open any streets where possible, as soon as it is safe to do so.

The closures are having a significant impact on local businesses and Police have thanked them, and residents, for "their co-operation at this difficult time."

Frogmore Street, Baker Street and Princes Street all remain closed.

The fire service is currently investigating the cause of the fire, and Gwent Police officers are working with them.
