Pudding Lane.

The baker was

called Thomas

Farriner.

The Great Fire of London

The Great Fire of London

In 1666, most of London’s buildings were made from

wood.

They were also packed tightly together in narrow

rows.

The Great Fire of London

This meant that they burnt very easily and quickly.

The wind also helped carry the fire!

The Great Fire of London

Fire services never used to exist so

citizens had to try and put the fire

out! They used leather buckets filled

with water and axes. They tried their

best but were unable to battle the

flames.

On Wednesday The Duke of York

(the future King James II)

ordered that houses be

destroyed using gunpowder

ahead of the fire to stop the

fire from spreading even

further. This plan succeeded

and by Thursday, the fire had

been extinguished.

The Great Fire of London

The Great Fire of London

The disaster made London a better and safer city.

Streets were widened and buildings were made

stronger, more fireproof and out of brick instead of

wood.

A lot of rats carrying the black plague were also

killed off.

The Great London Fire

The Monument to the Great Fire of London was

erected.

The monument still remains in place today so that no

one will ever forget what happened.

The Great London Fire

Even the smallest fire can be dangerous within a few

minutes. Make sure you always have a fire escape

planned. If a fire starts, stay calm and leave

immediately.
