Crews were called to the mosque in Walford Road, Sparkbrook, around 11.30pm on Monday and arrived to find much of its roof had fallen in.

No one was thought to be inside the terrace property at the time and, despite its location on a residential street, nobody else was hurt.

Search dogs from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service and a police helicopter searched for anyone who might have been trapped in the rubble.

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service said the "collapse was caused by ongoing structural works inside the premises".

A skip and safety fencing were pictured outside the property, indicating building work had been going on before the collapse.

A fire service spokesman said: "Structural engineers have been in attendance and contractors came out to make the building safe at about 3am.

"A K9 team has been through the property internally and externally and we're confident no persons were inside."

The collapse shut Walford Road while emergency services cleared the debris.

Access was also restricted to surrounding streets.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said the incident was not a police matter and the council had been notified.

A safety inspection of the building would be carried out, police said.
