Great Fire at the Southern and Western Railway Station, Cork, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Great Fire at the Southern and Western Railway Station, Cork, [Ireland], 1850....a destructive fire broke out in the Cork terminus of the Great Southern and Western Railway. The permanent buildings, the engine and traffic department, were at one time in considerable danger, and would have been very seriously injured were it not for the exertions of the company's officers, who were at the place a few moments after the fire made its appearance. The station-house, comprising the booking-office, the waiting-rooms, the porters room, the master's office, and the lamp-room, were burned to the ground before any effective assistance arrived. The amount of damage is not known as yet, but none of the goods which had been sent in during the day for transmission were injured. The premises are reduced to the four chimney-shafts shown in the accompanying sketch'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
