interesting place, historical layer / disappeared object
The site of Britain’s worst peacetime fire disaster. It has lain derelict for over 50 years, after a devastating inferno in 1960 ripped through the premises of Arbuckle, Smith and Co.
The warehouse containing 21,000 casks of whisky and rum caught fire – the blaze claimed the lives of 19 firefighters and took over a week to fully extinguish.
