It was January 12th 1967, I was at that fire with the turntable ladder. It started in the drawing offices, and progressed so fast I had to resite the ladder 3 times before the fire was stopped.
A picture taken the morning after.

For those interested a picture of Bulloughs when it was part of Platts.
