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.
