Bosley mill explosion: Blast search resumes as body found Bosley mill explosion: Blast recovery 'may take long time'

Rescue teams are continuing the search for three workers still missing after a devastating fire at a mill in Cheshire. Firefighters have warned it may "take a long time" to complete the search for three workers missing after explosions at a mill in Cheshire.
On Sunday night, search teams found the body of one of four workers caught up in the blast at Wood Flour Mills, in Bosley, near Macclesfield. The body of another worker caught up in Friday's blasts at Wood Flour Mills, near Macclesfield, was found on Sunday.
The families of Derek Moore, 62, Dorothy Bailey, 62, Jason Shingler, 38, and William Barks, 51, have all been informed. But Assistant Chief Constable Guy Hindle warned: "I don't anticipate that [identification] will be a quick task."
But Cheshire Police said the body had not yet been positively identified. Chief fire officer Paul Hancock said the search was moving into a "recovery" phase rather than a "rescue".
He added they were excavating the 5m x 5m area in which the body was found.
"We are now approximately 3m down into that excavation with a potential further 10m to go," he added. "So it is a significant challenge."
