GREAT FIRE NEAR DUNSINK OBSERVATORY
Bradford Daily Telegraph Monday 7th October 1895
A
fire occurred on Saturday October 5th at Rathbone’s
candle factory near Dunsink Observatory, county Dublin, and properly
estimated £80,000 was destroyed. The heat was so intense that it was
found impossible to reach a water tank in the yard attached to the
premises, and the only supply available was procured from an old
quarry nearby. Tons of finished candles were and the buildings
completely destroyed.
