The GreatFire of Whitstable in 1869 devastated the coastal town of Whitstable in Kent , England . On the evening of Wednesday, 16 November 1869, the fire swept through the closely built area along The Wall, west of the town s harbour. Given that the population of the town was a little under 2,000, the disaster that befell the little fishing harbour must have been big news across the region, as the fire drew a crowd of 10,000 spectators. ref name fire cite book last Goodsall first Robert title Whitstable, Seasalter and Swalecliffe date 1938 ref It was the local Her Majesty s Coastguard coastguard who on 16 November at about 10.45pm spotted flames coming from the roof of a shop. He raised the alarm and a large crowd gathered. Little could be done to prevent the progress of the fire, which burst through the roof and spread to other parts of the building, fanned by a brisk north easterly wind. Telegrams and mounted messengers were sent to nearby Canterbury and Faversham calling for such fire engines as were available. Although the Whitstable fire engine had arrived, time was lost in obtaining water and getting the hose into use. The engine was then fouled by sand and seaweed drawn up with seawater from the beach. ref name fire Image Cobbled Street in Whitstable.jpg right thumb Harbour Street today alt A narrow paved road, lined with shops Despite the combined efforts of the four fire engines the blaze continued unabated as far as the premises of one Josiah Reeves, mast and block ... the inferno to be carried into Marine Street, and Harbour Street beyond, causing great damage in the intervening ... out the smouldering embers. ref name fire Seventy one buildings were destroyed, of which 25 were ... to have been not less than 10,000 and perhaps as much as 13,000. ref name fire References reflist coord 51 21 40 N 1 1 25 E display title Category Disasters in Kent Great Category 1869 in England Great Category Fires in England Great Category 1869 fires ... more details
