The May-Oatway Fire-Alarm - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, captures a significant moment in history - The May-Oatway Fire-Alarm. Published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on January 25th, 1902, this image offers a rare glimpse into the innovative fire alarm system of its time. The photo showcases a fire indicator board amidst the ruins of Sampsons Lace Factory in Nottinghamshire. It vividly portrays the devastating aftermath of a fire outbreak that occurred on January 13th. The May-Oatway automatic fire alarm system played a crucial role in detecting and alerting authorities about this destructive event. The architecture surrounding the destroyed factory is visible through the debris and wreckage. This photograph not only documents the extent of damage caused by fires but also highlights how advanced methods were employed to detect such incidents during that era. With its historical significance and architectural context, this print from Bridgeman Images provides us with valuable insights into early methods of firefighting and disaster management. It serves as a reminder of our continuous efforts to improve safety measures against fires while appreciating past innovations that paved the way for modern-day advancements.
