English: Photograph showing the aftermath of the Great Timber Yard Fire in Hartlepool, 1922. Although no human lives were lost during the blaze, it is thought that many animals may have perished during the inferno as they were forgotton or lost by owners rushing to save themselves and their furniture or, spooked by the changes in their surroundings, they ran right into the fire's path. Luckily, this cat appears to have survived unscathed and to have been returned to its owner, who is sitting holding it in the rubble of a fire-damaged building.
