BOOK SHOP ABLAZE
FIRE AT WESTPORT BRIGADE’S GOOD SAVE Press Association WESTPORT, Monday. A fire at half-past 8 o clock this evening practically destroyed the premises of Mr. J. H. Greenwood, bookseller and stationer, and agent for the Bristol Piano Company. The fire started in a store-room at the back of the shop and quickly spread to the main building through which it rapidly swept, destroying a large stock of books, gramophone records, pianos and stationer’s goods. The flames secured a hold on premises next door, belonging to Mrs. McGrath, general draper, but was quickly suppressed there. The goods were removed on to the street. The brigade made a good save in preventing the extension of the fire to the premises of Mr. W. G. Carr, draper, but his goods were extensively damaged by water.
