Numerous police vehicles, ambulances and fire engines were called to the block of flats on Kirkgate early on Sunday afternoon after reports that a woman had dropped from the window and onto the flat roof of Manor House.

The air ambulance was called but was not required after firefighters and paramedics were able to reach her on the roof.

It is not known how far the woman fell.

Pictures taken by residents in adjacent flats show the woman being led away for treatment, although it is not known how badly injured she was.
