Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information
would be appreciated.
I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it,
but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the
information will come from.
All emails are answered.

From the Midland Daily Telegraph, Friday, 15 February, 1901.
Topics of the day.
We have not lately seen a long string of accidents due to the use of
defective lamps. Whether the agitation
caused some time ago against ill-constructed lamps and bad oil has had
results in producing better qualities
of both, or whether the use of these articles is much less common we are
unaware. Certain it is there have
been fewer fatalities reported lately in the newspapers. But the
death-dealing lamp is still among us is
made evident by a shocking affair at Northfleet. A paraffin lamp
exploded in the bar of the "Tradesman's
Arms," with the consequence that the house was burnt out in about 30
minutes, and a woman and her two
children lost their lives through suffocation. It is well that the
public should be made aware of the danger
which often attends to use of paraffin lamps.
