of Engine Works, Commissioners Quay, Sunderland,
1887 'EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT SUNDERLAND. This morning, while a large engine bed plate and condensers was being conveyed on one of Messrs Prior's rolleys, drawn by two horses from Messrs Black's Portobello Foundry, Monkwearmouth, to Carr and Co.'s Engine Works, Commissioners Quay, Sunderland, in turning the corner of Bodlewell Lane into the Low Street, the waggon caught the kerbstone and turned completely over burying one of the horses. The bed plate knocked down a large sign at Messrs Fenwick's brewery, a lot of tiles from a neighbouring shop, and then embedded itself in the brewery wall. The horse, when got out, was found to be seriously injured, and was carried away on planks. Fortunately the driver of waggon jumped off in time, and received no injury.'[1]
