Description: | 21st March 1966
Back-to-back properties on Langford Street, numbers run to the right in descending order from number 18 on the right. Number 16 is fire damaged, smoke traces can be seen above the door and window and furniture and fittings are piled outside. The five occured on Saturday 19th March and was reported in the Yorkshire Post with the headline 'Ambulance crew grab 2 from fire'. After discovering the blaze, Donald and Caroline Wheatley dropped their 12 month old baby to safety with a neighbour but were themselves trapped. Mrs Ann Hunt, another neighbour managed to flag down a passing ambulance while running to telephone firemen. The drivers backed their vehicle up to the burning house and stood on the roof of the ambulance to help the couple escape. No-one was injured in the fire. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Langford Street | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
