On the stormy night, 17th January, 1965, a huge fire that took place at Syke Mill in Haworth, near Keighley, West Yorkshire. The fire spread with such ferocity that it destroyed the entire roof. The damage was so bad that it had to be demolished. As a wool mill, the floors were soaked in lanolin, causing the fire to spread so quickly that nothing could be saved. The fire cost many people their jobs, and the site is now a housing estate. Much of the action takes place at night so the bright orange flames engulfing the factory are all that can be seen. Title - A BJ Production Mill Blaze Following the opening titles, there is extensive footage of the building which is engulfed in flames. Clear shots capture the dark silhouette of the building against the orange flame. In the morning, the flames have finally been extinguished. Firemen with hoses can still be seen near the building, and heavy smoke hangs around the ruins. Final shots show the buildings outline against a red morning sky before cranes move in to clear the wreckage and rubble away. Title - The End.
