Broadway builder George Foster suffered several fires at his premises in the 1920s and 30s. A fire broke out on the night of 7th June 1928 which destroyed his two storey timber shed. In 1935 another huge fire destroyed a timber store and workshops. Broadway Fire Brigade attended both of these incidents, supported at the latter by the District engine from Pershore.
The photos below were taken following one of the fires.
