Cambridge Daily News 2 Feb 1949: Everson mobile canteen fire

A mobile canteen was completely destroyed by fire on the Weston Colville road. The 2½ ton Bedford owned by Mr Alfred Eversham (sic) of Trumpington was being driven near West Wratting when the driver smelled burning. He stopped the vehicle and opened the shutter at the back to find the inside on fire. The outbreak is thought to have been caused by a gas stove left alight. The van was used for selling tea and sandwiches to displaced persons in the area
