Destructive Fire at Newington Butts Claims Two Lives
A major blaze on High street Newington Butts near St Mary's church began about 3:30 am in Mr Merry cheese and butter shop. The fire killed Mrs Martha Merry aged 62 and Elizabeth Carter a 22 year old servant, with extensive property losses to neighboring buildings including Ship wine vaults and Keen the bootmaker. Fire engines and police aided the effort but the roof collapsed, preventing rescue attempts. An inquest returned verdicts of accidental death for both victims and criticized police familiarity with fire ladders.
