The Leeds Times [Saturday 6th April 1844] reported


On Tuesday last, the wife of John Bradley of Northowram, Halifax, put some water into the pot to boil to wash some clothes.

The flue was not drawing so well, so, in order to make it do so, she resolved to try the following experiment. She fetched two pounds of powder out of the cellar (her husband being a sinker having always a quantity on hand for blasting) and took part of it and put it under the pan.

As soon as she did this, it ignited and the pan was blown up and sparks ignited the rest of the powder which was upon the table in a basin. This blew up the chamber boards, knocked out several windows and window pillars, and scorched the woman and her daughter who were in the house when the explosion took place, very severely
