Destruction of Garrick Theatre by Fire in Lewan Street
A Wednesday early fire at Garrick Theatre Lewan Street Goodman’s Field swept through the building from basement to roof within hours. Fire brigades from multiple stations battled flames, saving parts of the Garrick Tavern but destroying the theatre’s stage and wardrobe. About fifty performers face unemployment as investigators seek the cause, with some hint that wartime cannon firing misfired prior. One constable injured, taken to London Hospital.
