High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Clerkenwell explosion, also known as the Clerkenwell Outrage was a bombing in London carried out on 13 December 1867. The Irish Republican Brotherhood, nicknamed the "Fenians", exploded a bomb in attempt to free one of their members being held on remand at Clerkenwell Prison. The explosion damaged nearby houses, killed 12 people and causing many injuries. None of the prisoners escaped. The event was described by The Times the following day as "A crime of unexampled atrocity", and compared to the "infernal machines" used in Paris in 1800 and 1835 and the Gunpowder Treason of 1605. The bombing was later described as the most infamous action carried out by the Fenians in Great Britain in the 19th century. It enraged the public, causing a backlash of hostility in Britain which undermined efforts to establish home rule or independence for Ireland.
