More than 60 firefighters worked round the clock after flames first took hold at around 1:45pm on Wednesday (July 19).
Police declared a major incident after their resources were already overstretched with protests taking place in the city centre by Extinction Rebellion .
Some residents were left stranded, unable to reach to their homes because of a cordon set up around the area.
People were urged to keep their windows and doors closed, as black smoke billowed out across the city's skyline.
Parts of the building collapsed onto the A4018 causing it to close for four days.
Crews worked on the site until Sunday morning, checking for hotspots.
Today (July 22) broken steel frames and charred buildings with no roofs loom behind the complex's main entrance, which appears to have escaped the worst of the fire.
