Emergency services have sealed off a road in Radcliffe overnight after a building collapsed - leaving debris sprawled across the street.
Stand Lane between New Road and Church street has been closed in both directions due to the unsafe property on the corner of Mellor Street, near the town centre.
Pictures from the scene show the area taped off, with emergency vehicles seen parked nearby. The front of the building appears to have been completely destroyed.

Bricks and rumble can be seen across the pavement, with the inside of the property visible from the outside. It's not clear what the building was being used for, and if any injuries were reported.
No more details about the nature of the incident or how the property came to collapse have been released at this stage.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire Service said: "Just before 10pm last night (Sunday 19th March), two fire engines from Whitefield and Bury central fire station were called to reports of a building collapse on Stand Lane, Radcliffe.
"Crews arrived quickly at scene. Firefighters used cordons and a thermal imaging camera to make the area safe. Firefighters were in attendance for around two and a half hours."
Greater Manchester Police have been approached for more information about the incident.
According to Manc Traffic: "A collapsed building on the corner of Mellor Street means a closure of Stand Lane, Radcliffe from New Road onto Church Street.
"Divert using New Road, Dale Street, Deansgate, and Church St West. It may be like this into the Monday morning peak so allow extra time."
