Fire in a flat on Market Street

I heard via twitter that there was a fire on Market Street between the Bus Station and the Town Hall. Later reports said it was in a flat above a pharmacy, but there are three pharmacies in that long row of shops and it didn't say which. This was the scene next day and it seems that the fire was not above Lloyd's pharmacy but the Top Flight dry cleaners next door, who appeared to be still open for business. I understand no-one was hurt but it had caused huge traffic disruption.
