Bedford LONDON'S BURNING 1966 1st

Description: Bedford, John LONDON’S BURNING. London; Abeland-Schuman. 1966, 1st. Profusely illustrated. On September 2nd, 1666, London, decimated by the Great Plague of the previous year, was struck by an even deadlier blow. That night a fire broke out in the bake house of Thomas Farringer in Pudding Lane; a fire which was to rage for four days, destroying thousands of dwellings, shops and warehouses within the City, parish churches, Livery Halls fo the City companies, and even one of the greatest cathedrals in Western Christendom, St. Paul’s itself.In reconstructing this disaster, Mr. Bedford shows how circumstances favored the outbreak. The close packed mass of buildings, put up in total disregard of the existing regulations, was tinder dry: a strong east wind fanned the flames; one of the first victims was the engine which supplied the City with water from the Thames; the Lord Mayor was weak and ineffectual, and the citizens were so used to fires that they did not at first realize the magnitude of the disaster
