Description: | After a fire in May 1851 at Norton's Corn Mill, located at Horsley Fields, Wolverhampton's Watch Committee raised concerns about the lack of adequate fire fighting facilities in Woverhampton. The Chief Constable, at the time, G. Hogg visited Manchester to interview William Rose, the Superintendent of Manchester's Fire Brigade. This report which appears to have been released to the Wolverhampton Chronicle details Manchester's fire fighting techniques. It shapes the foundation for proposals which were put forward for the establishment of a fire brigade in Wolverhampton. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Typescript | Temporal: | June 1851 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
