Garage Fire 1951

Article taken from local newspaper dated 1951.

When fire broke out in the early hours of Monday morning at a garage in Church Street , Burton Latimer, owned by the Rector, Reverend R W Sharpley, sparks also set alight the thatched roof of a shop owned by Mr C E Garlick. The shop roof, as our picture shows, was badly damaged, but firemen who hacked away part of the thatch prevented flames from spreading. One car in the garage was destroyed, but the Rector’s car was wheeled to safety.
