Description
Wooden buildings, stores of combustibles and overcrowding meant fires were a regular occurrence in 17th century London. Most were unremarkable. So when a chance fire started in a bakery on 2 September 1666, no one could know that it would wipe out most of the City of London.
To commemorate the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London, this exhibition explores the story of this devastation through Guildhall Library’s collections, including English and foreign accounts, sermons and public records.
The exhibition is inaccessible during afternoon talks.
