Lankshear’s printing works were gutted, and the electrical goods of Tolley and Son suffered severely from water, as also did the soft goods stock of Dawson and Maudslev, whose premises adjoin Lankshear’s. No insurances were available this evening. Reid and Reid, whose premises also adjoin Lankshear’s, had their stock of oils, paints, soap, writing paper, etc., damaged by water to the extent of a few hundred pounds. Their stock is covered by a policy in the Commercial Union office.
