Short Reports of Fires

Rushden Echo, 17th August 1900, transcribed by Kay Collins

A Stack Fire occurred in the yard behind the Queen’s Head on Tuesday afternoon, the rick, a new one, belonging to Mr. Horn. Fortunately some men working at the new Band Club espied the fire before it had obtained much hold, and the flames were subdued with little difficulty. It is thought that the fire was caused by some lads.
