A lorry has crashed into a former post office in a Norfolk village. | |
The livestock transporter struck the Old Post Office, which was empty, on a hairpin bend in Binham, near Holt, at 07:00 GMT. | |
Norfolk Police said the building then collapsed around the vehicle. It dated from 1923 and stood in the centre of the village. | |
No-one was injured. A clean-up operation is under way and the road reopened by noon. | |
BBC Radio Norfolk reporter Jill Bennett, at the scene, said the elderly owners of the Old Post Office were too upset to talk but neighbours were rallying to help. | |
She described the ruins of the building as "a heap of bricks and tiles", with one gable end and a red brick chimney still standing. | |
The date stone had been found and saved. |
