Firefighters worked through the night to bring the fire under control.
Local residents have been advised to keep doors and windows closed due to the low smoke plume, and to avoid the area.
This is the scene on the A4108 and the reason the road remains closed. The front face of the building has collapsed outwards and onto the road. pic.twitter.com/jtgmw3lCQF
