So when did a work shop in the 1800s that was making something other than

How many instances do you want ? If you live in an older city, go
and look in your local records - you're bound to find them. How about
Boston and the infamous Molasses Tsunami ? Or Gateshead, where
molten lead from the roof fire spilt down onto picric acid used for
dyeing, and the resultant lead picrate explosive demolished half of
the quayside.
