Thisis the mess left behind after ten squatters were removed from the former post office in Ship Street on Wednesday.

Police and bailiffs were part of an operation to remove the squatters – which apparently ran smoothly with no arrests made.

The squatters are believed to have spent the past fortnight in the building.

It is the latest in a series of occupations of the large city centre property this year, which has led to a level of damage.
