From the Whitstable Times, 24 September, 1870.

FIRE.

At about half-past five on Wednesday afternoon, some premises at the rear of the “Royal Harbour Inn,” Addington-street, narrowly escaped destruction by fire. It seems that a domestic servant, belonging to the house, has occasioned to go to a loft, when she found the flooring on fire, and that a large hole had already been burnt. An alarm was given, and P.C. Page, who was on duty near the spot, with several other persons, at once rendered assistance, and, after a few pails of water had been thrown on the floor, which was in flames, all danger was at end. It is supposed that some children had got into the building, and had been playing with fire. This, at least, is the only explanation that can be given of the occurrence.
