The Gatecrasher One club in Sheffield has partially collapsed following a massive fire.

A number of roads around the area, including Arundel Street, Matilda Street, Sydney Street, Cumberland Street and Furnival Road, were closed.
Several work places and student accommodation were also evacuated as firefighters fought the blaze.
Residents living in the area were also instructed to keep their doors and windows closed, because of the fumes from the fire.
