People living in a south Manchester suburb have spoken of their shock after waking up to find a building engulfed in flames.
A fire broke out at the property in Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton, at about 10am today (Sunday). Pictures showed plumes of smoke billowing from the three-storey building at the junction with Napier Road.
The roof of the property appeared to have been badly damaged in the fire. A stretch of the busy main road was taped off between Wilbraham Road and High Lane for several hours while firefighters tackled the blaze.
