Destructive Fire in Rosemary Lane Tower Hill London
A major blaze swept the Rosemary Branch in Rosemary Lane Tower Hill on a Friday night. The fire originated in a cooper house and engulfed at least 31 houses, aided only partially by delaying fire engines due to narrow streets. Large crowds witnessed the destruction as residents cried out, and insured properties fared better while uninsured homes burned. Firefighters faced heavy rain and limited access, with continued blazes and structural collapse reported as the clock neared 10 pm.
