Crowdfunder saves corner shop after melted chocolate calamity

Scunthorpe neighbourhood rallies to replace 1,000 of chocolate liquified in July's heatwave

An online appeal has raised funds for the owners of a corner shop whose entire stock of chocolate worth nearly 1,000 melted after its air conditioning failed to cope during the recent heatwave.

More than 630 has been raised to replace the lost sweets after a GoFundMe page was set up by Claire York, the daughter of the store's owners, Stephen and Linda Ellis.
