The Great Fire Of London: How A Baker Nearly Destroyed The Whole City
The Great Fire of London was one of the most devastating fires in history. It started on September 2, 1666, in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane and quickly spread, destroying over 13,000 houses, 87 churches, and St. Paul's Cathedral. The fire burned for four days and nights, and it was only stopped when King Charles II ordered houses to be demolished to create a fire break.
The fire was caused by a combination of factors, including a hot, dry summer, strong winds, and the city's narrow, winding streets. At the time, most buildings in London were made of wood and thatch, which made them highly flammable.
The fire had a devastating impact on London. It destroyed homes, businesses, and places of worship. It also displaced thousands of people and caused widespread economic damage.
However, the fire also led to a period of rebuilding and renewal. The city was rebuilt with new fire safety measures in place, and many of the iconic landmarks that we see today were constructed in the aftermath of the fire.
The Great Fire of London was a major turning point in the history of London. It helped to shape the city that we know today.
