Our latest aerial images are showing the walls and roof up at distribution company Midland Chilled Foods, also known as Midland Food Group, in Stringes Lane which was hit by a major fire in January 2023. 

The flames and smoke could be seen for miles around and around 70 per cent of the unit was destroyed during the incident which saw around 50 firefighters tackle it. The new development is expected to be ready soon.
