In northern England, the largest fire in some years destroys businesses and a Wesleyan school

In the early morning hours in York, England, a patrolling policeman discovered a fire in a factory.  Despite the work of all three city fire engines, the flames spread to a large number of surrounding buildings, including a Wesleyan School.  The factory and the school buildings were among the structures completely destroyed.  No serious injuries were reported, however.  (By John Osborne)
