Framed Print of Aftermath of major fire, Smithfield Poultry Market, London
The aftermath of a fire at Smithfield Poultry Market, London, on 23 January 1958, showing where the floor had collapsed in the gangway leading to No.21 gate, taken about 36 hours after the fire had broken out. The projections on the left of the hole are the remains of strip metal spacers set between the wood blocks of the floors. Immense damage was caused to one end of the large market halls, but the fire was contained to the main structure despite being surrounded by other high-risk premises. In all 389 pumps and 1700 officers and men fought the fire during the 40-hour battle. Date: 1958. Mary Evans Picture Library makes available wonderful images created for people to enjoy over the centuries. © London Fire Brigade / Mary Evans Picture Library
