The Great Fire of London
Cлайд 2
The famous ‘Great Fire of London’ started on Sunday 2 September 1666 in a bakers shop.
Cлайд 3
The shop was in ‘Pudding Lane’ and belonged to Thomas Faynor who baked for the King.
Cлайд 4
The baker forgot to put out the fire he used to bake bread. Some fire wood was set alight and the fire began.
Cлайд 5
The buildings in London at the time were made of wood so they burnt very easily.
Cлайд 6
The buildings were also very close together, so the fire spread from one street to another quickly.
Cлайд 7
The very strong wind blowing also helped the fire to spread quickly across the city of London.
Cлайд 8
There were no firemen or fire engines so people tried to put the fire out with buckets of water.
Cлайд 9
The fire destroyed many buildings in London. They were later rebuilt using bricks instead of wood.
Cлайд 10
Samuel Pepys kept a diary of what he saw during the fire. He watched the fire from across the River Thames.
Cлайд 11
The fire was burning for four days. Luckily only 4 people were reported to have died.
Cлайд 12
After the fire a fire service was set up in London to make sure that it did not happen again.
Cлайд 13
A monument was made to remember the ‘Great Fire of London’. It still stands in London today.
