Framed Print of The scene of the explosion at Salford Barracks, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The scene of the explosion at Salford Barracks, 1881. All England was startled, on Saturday morning, by the news that a Fenian [ie Irish Republican] attempt had been made the evening before to blow up the armoury connected with the Infantry Barracks at Salford, adjacent to Manchester. Shortly before six o'clock the neighbourhood was startled by a loud explosion in the butcher's meat store of the barracks, immediately adjoining the armoury, in which are stored, in addition to the arms of the regiment, a number of rifles belonging to the four Manchester regiments of Volunteers, about 5000 weapons altogether. The explosion was exceedingly violent, destroying the shed, and scattering rubbish for several hundred yards. A woman and a boy passing at the time were seriously hurt. The boy died on Sunday night. There seems to be little doubt that dynamite was used for the explosion, and, as the neighbourhood is principally inhabited by Irish, the matter assumes a Fenian character. The armoury is not much injured, so that the object has not been attained. The investigations of the police and the military, and the evidence they have been able to obtain, confirm the impression that the explosion was a deliberate outrage'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
