245 Mill Road, Cambridge
History of 245 Mill Road
9 March 1903
A dangerous outbreak of fire occurred at 245 Mill Road, Cambridge when a lighted standard lamp was accidentally knocked over by a child. The contents of the lamp spilled upon the floor and became ignited near to the windows. Before the flames were extinguished the curtains, Venetian blinds and several articles of furniture were destroyed and a carpet and table cover badly damaged. News of the fire was received through the Mill Road fire alarm post but when firemen arrived at the scene with the horsed fire escape and tender the fire had been extinguished.
