Yesterday East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said it was working to dismantle the building, which was used as a store room, and that its work will continue throughout the weekend.

Nearby residents were urged to keep their windows closed as smoke continues to emanate from the blaze.

However this afternoon the fire service said that the blaze was finally put out.

Firefighters from two counties were called to the blaze, which was producing huge plumes of smoke that could be seen for miles.

Police set up road closures and the public were advised to avoid the area.
