Crews from several fire stations were called to the blaze at around 5.30pm, with advice which was issued to nearby residents to close windows remaining in place well into the night.

Plum Tree Road is close to the border of Nottinghamshire and Doncaster and several villages in the south of the borough. The industrial estate is off the A631 Tickhill Road, which is the main road which runs between Bawtry and Tickhill.
