A theatre company has had its entire handmade wardrobe and props destroyed in a fire at a self-storage unit which police believe was started deliberately.

About 100 firefighters tackled the fire at Armadillo Storage in Earl Road, Cheadle in Stockport, on Saturday.

Manchester-based theatre group Time and Again said it was "galling and devastating" to have "lost everything".

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it was investigating the blaze.

Emergency crews were called at about 01:40 GMT.

Time and Again founder Laura Crow said she had dropped all the costumes and props for their newest show off at the self-storage warehouse on Friday.

When she arrived at the scene after the fire it was "literally just ash and twisted metal left", she said.

"We had only used the space for eight months.

"The costumes were all either hand-sewn or irreplaceable vintage pieces," the 28-year-old said.

If they aren't insured perhaps they could set up a 'fund me' page.

I suppose it depends on whether GoFundMe approve of their next production or not. If not, they might have all of their money stolen, just like the truckers.
