The Great Fire of Whitstable, 1869

The Great Fire of Whitstable in 1869 devastated the coastal town of Whitstable in Kent, England.

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.
