A major Sheffield road has partially reopened after a building collapse sent debris into the street early on Sunday morning.

London Road has now been cleared and scaffolding has been erected to prevent further collapse.

One lane remains closed while surveyors inspect the property, a residential flat above shops on the corner with Wolseley Road.

The shops below include female-only tattoo studio Modelajna Tattoo and Golden Stars Chinese takeaway.

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 1am on Sunday morning, but nobody was injured in the incident.

Several flats were evacuated as a precaution and businesses underneath the flat remain closed today.

Paula, tattoo artist and business owner of Modelajna Tattoo, posted to Instagram: “I’m so incredibly happy that no one was hurt and I’m hoping people will be able to come back to their homes as soon as possible.”

Sheffield City Council is leading an investigation into the cause of the collapse.

They are reportedly meeting with contractors today to establish the next steps for the premises.
