A picture taken the morning after.
For those interested a picture of Bulloughs when it was part of Platts.

I recall the fire. My Grandma lived in one of the terraced houses on Brown Street, directly across from the factory. I visited along with my parents every week or so.
On this occasion, the morning after the fire and knowing nothing of it, we found the approach roads blocked off and had to park the car and walk. I mostly recall there was paper everywhere blowing about the streets
