Description: | This print shows the great fire of Newcastle and Gateshead in 1854. In the early hours of the 6th October 1854, a fire broke out in a factory in Gateshead. The fire soon spread to a warehouse full of chemicals. A tremendous explosion sent blazing timber, chemicals, and brickwork across the river, setting buildings on fire on Newcastle Quayside. By morning, the buildings crowded together between Newcastle Quay and Butcher Bank were almost all destroyed. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | artists living in the North East events art Gateshead Newcastle | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
