Calor Gas Explosion of 1970

"It was like the Blitz all over again", said one of the nearby residents when the Calor gas bottle storage depot in Church Road, Mitcham, caught fire. Gas bottles flew through the air raining chunks of hot metal onto houses. The explosion was heard as far away as Battersea. In this video I read two reports in the local newspaper the Mitcham News & Mercury: the first of the fire itself, the second as the Calor Gas company decided to close the depot, much to the relief of all those who lived nearby.
