Despite a westerly wind, the brigade prevented the fire spreading. Five hampers of samples -lying ready packed for removal, and containing soft goods and fur coats to an estimated value of £lOOO were totally destroyed. They were the property of Sargood, Son and Ewen. The premises, which are among the oldest buildings in Cambridge, were insured for £lOOO in the New Zealand office. It is not known whether the samples were covered in insurance.
