| The photograph at the top right of all of the Web
pages shows the R7(*) malting building
after the devastating fire that took place on Friday August 15th 1929.
This was easily Sawbridgeworth's most serious and biggest fire which
broke out late evening, lighting the sky for miles with a red glow.
Sawbridgeworth and other supporting brigades were in attendance for
about 4 days and the Sawbridgeworth Dennis fire engine, set in at the
River Stort loop by the Station Road bridge (below), was pumping for 48 hrs. non
stop. Hoses were run down the road adjacent to the R4 malting and across
towards the R7 malting under the main Cambridge railway line to get
water to the fire. The fire was thought to have been caused a lightning
strike. |
(*) The maltings at
Sawbridgeworth on both sides of the railway, owned by H. A. & D. Taylor
Limited, were all served by a railway siding and the maltings that adjoined
were all known by the siding number. R6 is the building in the right of the
photograph above. |
