Some of the over-hanging snow on a shop roof in Dereham is still clinging on three days later, remaining a threat to passing shoppers.

UPDATED: Snow on Dereham shop roof still hanging on

The white mass, which captured readers on EDP24 earlier this week, has significantly reduced in size after large chunks relinquished hold of the Edinburgh Woollen Mill on the town's High Street.

The snow came down in two separate avalanches when there was luckily no one standing underneath.

A notice, put out on the pavements by the shop's staff, had warned passersby to beware.

The remaining lump of snow is stubbornly holding on in the corner. People who have spent days watching it from nearby shops and offices have almost given up hope of it ever falling.
