Firefighters tackle Trafalgar Road blaze

June 18, 2012 By Rob Powell

TWENTY firefighters got a blaze under control in Trafalgar Road last night.

Four fire engines were deployed after emergency services were alerted to the fire above Coral bookmakers at 7.30pm.

The fire caused damage to offices on the first and second floors at 181-185 Trafalgar Road which for over a hundred years were the offices used by local solicitors, Grant Saw.

Since they left in 2003, the offices have been used by several colleges although the space is currently advertised as being available to let.

Firefighters East Greenwich, Greenwich and Deptford fire stations had the fire under control by 9.24pm.

    Really sorry to hear this. This firm occupied those offices from 1901 to 2003. For many years they were the chambers above NatWest Bank, before Natwest sold out to Corals.

    “…their contact email address doesn’t work and the phone was not answered when this website tried to contact them today”

    Possibly because, y’know, their office burnt down last night.

    Hah, turned out the college had departed the offices already.
