DESTRUCTION OF ST. MARY’S ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL AT SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Destruction of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral at Sydney, New South Wales, 1865. Engraving of a drawing by Mr. J. Smedley, showing '...the conflagration in its most terrific aspect...The flames burst forth almost simultaneously...The roof was composed of shingles, which were quickly burnt through...as the outlines of the stately structure were vividly defined and skirted with flame, the sight was one of unsurpassed grandeur. Myriads of sparks ascended high into the air and fell in showers in the direction of Woolloomooloo Bay...From the top of the cathedral clouds of yellow flame and smoke issued, which shed a lurid lustre on all around...The reflection of the fire in the sky was visible for a distance of twenty miles at sea...the flames, like innumerable serpents of fire, hissed and crackled...The interior...was a vast furnace of fire, which glowed with intense heat; and the wind and flame roaring through the sacred pile, and the timbers crashing from above, made a noise which resembled the waves beating along the seashore as heard from afar...The cathedral, which had cost not much less, with its furniture and decorations, than £50,000, was not insured. It contained several pictures by the old masters, none of which have been saved'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

BURNING OF PENGWERN HALL, NEAR ST. ASAPH, THE SEAT OF LORD MOSTYN, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Burning of Pengwern Hall, near St. Asaph [in Wales], the seat of Lord Mostyn, 1864. 'This mansion, one of the noblest in the Vale of Clwyd, was the residence of the late Lord Mostyn, but has, since his death, been occupied by his brother, the Hon. T. P. Lloyd. It was built, in 1787...The house was partly of Corinthian architecture, but with a certain originality in the design of its front. It contained not only a great deal of costly furniture, plate, and jewels, but many choice paintings - Dutch, Italian, and English - besides the rare and valuable library of Welsh records and MSS. known as the Mostyn Collection. Fortunately, these treasures are for the most part saved. The fire having broken out at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of people soon hastened to help in putting it out, or in getting out whatever they could, and a lady of the family, Miss Lloyd, of Cefn...is said to have shown extraordinary courage, by entering the burning house over and over again to fetch some cherished heirlooms of the house of Lloyd. The Hon. Mr. Lloyd and Miss Lloyd are much esteemed in the neighbourhood for their benevolence, and this fire is lamented as a public calamity throughout the Vale of Clwyd'.

SCENE OF THE FIRE AT DOCKHEAD, BERMONDSEY, SKETCHED ON SATURDAY MORNING, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene of the fire at Dockhead, Bermondsey, [London], sketched on Saturday morning, 1864. 'a great fire broke out in the waterside premises of Messrs. Barry Brothers, wharfingers and saltpetre merchants...The warehouses...contained many thousand tons of saltpetre, and, as a strong wind was blowing...the piles and blocks of saltpetre caught fire one after another, sending forth immense volumes of brightly-coloured flame and scattering smoke, ashes, and sparks...Adjoining this capacious warehouse stood another...termed the H Extension Warehouse. This building was filled with several thousand bales of jute, and in less than a quarter of an hour it also was wrapped in flames...It was impossible...to prevent the fire from spreading...The steam fire-engine of Messrs. Roberts...was supported by two steam floating-engines...upon the floors becoming ignited in which the saltpetre was stored, loud and fearful explosions took place in rapid succession, which blew down heavy brick walls and lifted the tiles and roofs...The flames lighted up all the shipping in the Thames...the water itself shone like an immense stream of liquid gold...The damage, which was confined mainly to the warehouses just mentioned and their contents, is estimated at about £80,000'.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: FIRE-ENGINE PRESENTED TO MR. HODGES BY...INHABITANTS OF LAMBETH, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The International Exhibition: fire-engine presented to Mr. Hodges by the inhabitants of Lambeth, 1862. 'Mr. Hodges is the head of a large and old-established distillery, situated in Pratt-street, Lambeth, to which undertaking he devotes the whole of his energies...A fire-engine, which is a necessary portion of the plant of an establishment of this kind, was not likely to be allowed by Mr. Hodges to remain quietly in its shed when his neighbour's house was on fire. He therefore very soon distinguished himself by superior courage and skill in its management, and with his fire brigade, which he had formed himself, was seldom found absent when such a calamity occurred. At the great fire in Tooley-street he displayed abilities and characteristics of a very high order, doing such good service that the thanks of the public generally were due to him. The testimonial presented to Mr. Hodges consists of a first-class fire-engine of the kind used by the London Fire Brigade...[and has] been most splendidly and lavishly decorated with appropriate bronze and other ornaments, all of which have been designed by Signor G. M. Casentini...The footboard is supported by a bronze dragon'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The International Exhibition: fire-engine presented to Mr. Hodges by...inhabitants of Lambeth, 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
