"It was devastating and I felt sick to my stomach. we have been on the site for the best part of 40 years and now it's all pretty much been completely destroyed overnight."
Ms Lear said everything had been lost except the clothing department, which was saved due to being in a separate building.
She added: "We feel lucky the clothing department, which has the museum inside, has been saved but we are so upset about everything else - three quarters of the site is gone.
"We have lost items that will never be able to be replaced. It's surreal to think 40 years of hard work has just been lost and we won't be able to see the full extent of the damage for some time while the crews investigate."

"The CCTV shows a firework going 'whoosh' in a straight line at the Bed City shutters.
"It drops to the floor, and looks like it's gone out. There are a few sparks.
"Then you can see smoke, and then it's alight under the shutter."
