Fire at Skringils (Corringales)
Opening Hours
Mon - Fri 8am - 5.30pm Friday se'nnight a fire broke out upon a farm called
Skringels, the property of Mr. Bingham of Hatfield
Sat 9am - 1pm Broad Oak, Essex. There were two fires the same
evening upon this unfortunate persons premises.
Tel: 01279 730 274 The first fire began at a barn about a ¼ mile from
the dwelling house which was immediately so
involved in flames that no prospect appeared to the
alarmed neighbourhood of saving the property. The
barn was soon levelled with the earth, and with its
contents became one heap of rubbish. But what
horror will it excite in our readers, and with what
indignation will they receive the information when
they are told that about 8 o'clock thAensdarmeeweJveSnminigth,
2 barns nearly adjoining the dwelling house where
the son and daughter of Mr Bingham resided, were
discovered to be so enveloped with flames as to be
out of the reach of humans intervention to
extinguish them, the fire at one and the same time
burst out at different places. Very strong reasons
therefore exist to ground suspicion that the whole of
this melancholy and lamentable conflagration was
the work of some diabolical incendiary whose
wicked inventions have but too well succeeded in
the destruction of the whole of Mr Bingham's
property amounting to near £1000.
