Dreadful Fire in Ivy Lane Claims Five Lives
A Sunday morning blaze at Mr Price’s bookbinding shop in Ivy Lane near Newgate Market killed five family members. The inquest at Dolly’s chop-house heard witnesses describe flames, failed ladders, and a lack of alarm while neighbors saved one woman from a window. Coroners noted the husband’s nearly shattered mind and lamented police delay as jurors considered neglect and causes.
