Bonfire night burns left their mark on several Bradford district children and ten received treatment at Bradford Royal Infirmary before being discharged. That number is five times greater than last year when the hospital treated only two casualties but no one was seriously hurt. Despite the number of children treated at hospital, Bradford Ambulance reported a quiet night and West Yorkshire Fire Brigade said the Bradford division had been out to only a handful of bonfire calls.
From the Telegraph & Argus of November 6th, 1951...
The West Riding was fortunately fairly free from firework and plot night casualties last night but at Keighley rockets caused two minor fires, when they flew through open bedroom windows in Aireworth Street and Berry Street. Children in Springcliffe Street, Manningham had their enthusiasm dampened when police called the fire brigade to extinguish their bonfire which had been built on a concrete road. The police have had instructions that no fires must be lit on either this kind of road or on tarmacadam.
