Fire Destroys Williams's Boot Shop on Gray Street
A major fire gutted Williams's Boot Shop at Ray Street center, threatening the entire block. Firefighters lacked immediate water pressure, delaying suppression as D Primrose and Cameron tried to smother the blaze from inside and the crowd aided by moving valuables. Losses included furniture and stock valued around £1,000, with investigation noting water supply as a critical weakness and calling for faster alarm and hydrant access.
