A former primary school is believed to have been destroyed by a huge fire.

Five crews of firefighters were sent to the blaze at the old Harwich Community Primary School and Nursery, in Main Road, Harwich.

Flames engulfed the two-storey building at about 4.15am, waking residents in the surrounding area.

It took firefighters two hours to put out the blaze, but crews are still on scene damping down.

An investigation is underway into the cause of the fire.
