BOXLEY FIRE.
On Thursday a fire broke out at the Abbey brewery, in the occupation of
Mr. T. H. Spencer, of Maidstone. Fortunately one of the men employed on
the premises had occasion to go to the brewery about four o'clock, when
he discovered the fire and gave the alarm; and assistance quickly
arriving, the flames were extinguished. Damage, however, to the extent
of about £50 was done to the flooring and to the property near the
copper. It seems that the pipe leading from the flue of the copper did
not fit, and a piece of sacking was placed around it, which it is
supposed was ignited by a cinder, and thus occasioned the damage. |
