How August 1 is a bad day in the history of Norwich,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The 1898 fire which started at Hurns and spread to the library
August 1 is a bad day in the history of Norwich. The day the city burned and we lost not one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but two libraries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along with a much-loved department store.
The blaze had started at Hurn's ropemaking business and spread to the library. Sixty thousand volumes, many rare and valuable, were lost including the important Norton collection of foreign dictionaries.
Chamberlins - the big,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], upmarket department store on Guildhall Hill - was also damaged in the blaze.
If the wind had been blowing in a different direction much of Dove Street and Lower Goat Lane could have gone.
It was said later that if the fire brigade - the Carrow and the Anchor brigades also helped - had had longer ladders,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they would have more chance of saving the building and many of the books.
The Evening News at the time described the library blaze as "an irreparable loss,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
The library reopened a year later at a cost of £1.719,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
On this day in 1970:
Garland's much-loved department store on London Street,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], part of city life for so long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], burned down.
The fire started in the kitchens and quickly spread throughout the building. Hundreds of shoppers gathered to watch as firemen battled to save the building and stop the fire from spreading to neighbouring properties.
A human chain formed to save thousands of shoes of shoes from Buckingham's shop.
It took almost 70 firemen three hours to get the blaze under control,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
On this day in 1994:
The blaze started at about 7.30am and quickly spread through the building where The Forum now stands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
It turned out to be the worst library fire since the Second World War and destroyed a priceless collection of books,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], manuscripts and archive material.
Tens of thousands of lending reference and local history books were lost as the fire took hold. Smoke could be seen six miles away,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Around 15 fire engines and 150 firefighters were at the scene. It was a terrible disaster which knocked the city for six,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The people responded by helping to stock a new library,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. A temporary library was set up on Ber Street and the people of Norwich and Norfolk responded to appeals for books.
