Think there was a fatal explosion there some years ago.
I think so, but it would have been mid/late 80s. When I was a trainee copper in Wiltshire (and I've got both the lobotomy and reverse lobotomy scars to show entry AND exit
) one of the less delightful aspects of the training was the flickbooks of photos from crime scenes / road accidents / firework factory explosions, and I seem to recall the above accident was one of them. Not a pretty sight.
Of (if memory serves correctly) the two women caught up in the blast, the "lucky" one died almost instantly. The other survived for a few weeks after.
