West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) is preparing to mark one of the most tragic fire disasters in British history, in which 17 girls and young women perished.
The Fire Service has joined with local groups to commemorate 200 years since the Colne Bridge mill fire of February 14th, 1818.
Cotton mill workers aged between nine and 18-years-old died in the blaze after a flame accidentally brushed against some loose strands of cotton.
On Saturday 10 February there will be a special memorial service at 11am at the church where most of the victims of the fire were laid to rest and a headstone bears the girls’ names.
