Another fire!!!!
R&H 19 Oct 1894
FIRE
On Saturday afternoon at 3-30 an alarm of fire was made in Heanor Market Place which might have been attended with very serious consequences had it not been for the prompt action of Mr Robey Burton, vice captain of the heanor Fire Brigade, and Mr Woodward, caretaker of the Heanor Technical Schools. It appears Mr Colville, who owns the theatre now standing in the Heanor market Place, which is built mainly of wood, has also two sleeping vans at the end of the structure. In one of these vans, which is used as a living room, a stove is kept and at the time named above, got overheated, setting fire to the woodwork. Fortunately help was speedily procured. Mr Burton obtained the hand pump from the Town Hall and suceeded in extinguishing the fire. Slight damage was done. Great praise is due to Messrs Burton and Woodward for their promptitude in the matter."

Wonder where the theatre was? It couldn't be the Cosy-too early. Maybe a travelling theatre??? Any further ideas???
