#153 - GEC and the Fourth Floor Girls (St Paul's, London, British)

Today’s episode is about a fire in an old building fitted with modern innovations to ensure its workers safety, and although everyone should have survived, it was the old-fashioned attitude towards one particular group of workers, which led to ten unnecessary deaths. This is the story of the fire at the General Electric Company at 67 Queen Victoria Street in London.


  • Date: Monday 9th June 1902, the fire started at roughly 5pm
  • Location: Fourth floor, General Electric Company Ltd, 68 Queen Victoria Street in London, UK, EC1 (building now demolished)
  • Victims: 10 (Phyllis Caroline M Elliott aged 14, Jessie Georgina Hastie aged 15, Arthur Vernon Paget aged 21, Mable Garrett 16, Ada Steel 15, Lily Amelia Mansell 16, Mabel Amos 17, Gladys Chambers 14, Violet Hodgeson 18, and Florence Amor aged 18)
  • Keywords: neglect, corporate manslaughter, tragedy, girls,
