SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION AT TTENHAM
HIGH-CROS.-(711IS DAY.) TO

This (Saturday) morning, between 2 and 3
o'clock, the inhabitants of the above usually quiet
district were thrown into a painful state of ex-
citement by the outbreak of a fire which quickly
laid in ruins property valued at several thousand
pounds. The scene of the calamity was the premises
of Mr. J. Cooper, builder, situate in the High
Cross. Owing to the remoteness of this locality a con-
siderable time elapsed before the arrival of the engines, and
during the interval, owing to the inflammable nature of
the contents of the premises the flames spread with the
greatest fury, at one time threatening to annihilate every
building near. The workshops of Mr. Cooper, in
which the disaster commenced were two floors high,
50 feet long, and 25 feet wide, and the whole building
very soon presented a huge sheet of flame. The fire
then seized upon the bakehouse and flour stores
of Mr. W. Moore, which were 15 feet long and 15 feet
wide. It then reached the private residence of Mr. J.
Allen, in High-cross-court, and thence extended to that of
Mr. J. Newland, next door, and was working its way into
the premises of Mr. J. Hylot, opposite. The wind after-
wards drove the flames into the two storey coach builders'
workshops of Mr. G. Pigott, and thence .nto
another range of workshops belonging to the same gentle-
man, but nearly double the size of the former.
Before the brigade engines could reach the scene the
seized upon the private dwelling-house of Mr. Piggott,
and from this poc t it extended to the show-rooms, con-
sisting of three floors, belonging to Mr. Toswell, furniture
dealer. The Salvage Corps succeeded in saving an im-
mense amount of property. The result of the fire is thus
officially reported to the Board of Works by Captain Shaw:
—" Saturday, Oct. 27, 1801—A fire broke out in the pre-
mises of Mr. J. Cooper, a builder, High Cross, Tottenham.
