Hi steemians, this is my new daily post!
Today I want to talk about a fact that impressed me, when we talked about it at school.

THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON

There were a lot of fires in London in the 1660s, but the Great Fire of London was very famous. Fires were very common in the 17th century because people had fires in their homes. The houses were also made of wood.

The Great Fire began on Sunday, 2 September, 1666. It started in Thomas Farynor’s baker’s shop in Pudding Lane in the centre of London. Farynor was the baker for King Charles ll. He lived with his family in the rooms above the shop. He woke up at 2 am. and he saw his house full of smoke. He and his family escaped through an upstairs window. One of their servants died in the fire.

It was a hot, dry day and it was late summer. A strong wind helped the fire to spread quickly. it destroyed houses and shops. People tried to put out the fire, but failed. They returned to their houses and they tried to save their things.
The writer Samuel Pepys described the scene in his diary.

He wrote, ‘... people shouted and cried and ran through the streets. They carried furniture, clothes, shoes, books and musical instruments.’ Some people ran to the River Thames and escaped in river boats.

Other people walked to safe parts of the city. The fire was visible 80 kms from London.

The fire burnt for four days. It destroyed 1 3,000 houses, 87 churches and important historical buildings including St Paul’s Cathedral. On Wednesday morning the wind stopped and the fire lost its intensity.
Incredibly only 6 people died in the fire, but over 200,000 people lost their homes.
After the fire, the city authorities rebuilt London.
The famous English architect, Christopher Wren, rebuilt 49 churches including St Paul’s Cathedral.
He also built The Monument to the Great Fire near London Bridge.
it’s 61 metres high -the exact distance from its base to the site of Farynor’s baker’s shop where the fire began.

Hi steemians, questo è il mio nuovo post giornaliero!
Oggi voglio parlarvi di un avvenimento storico che mi ha impressionato molto quando ne abbiamo parlato a scuola.

THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON

C'erano molti incendi a Londra nel 1660, ma il Grande Fuoco di Londra era molto famoso. Gli incendi erano molto comuni nel XVII secolo perché le persone avevano incendi nelle loro case. Le case erano anche in legno.

Il Grande Fuoco è iniziato domenica 2 settembre 1666. Ha iniziato nel panificio di Thomas Farynor a Pudding Lane nel centro di Londra. Farynor era il fornaio per il re Charles II. Ha vissuto con la sua famiglia nelle stanze sopra il negozio. Si è svegliato alle 2 del mattino. e vide la sua casa piena di fumo. Lui e la sua famiglia sono scappati attraverso una finestra di sopra. Uno dei loro servitori è morto nel fuoco.

Era un giorno caldo e asciutto ed era tarda estate. Un vento forte ha aiutato il fuoco a diffondersi rapidamente. ha distrutto case e negozi. La gente ha cercato di spegnere il fuoco, ma non ci è riuscita. Sono tornati nelle loro case e hanno cercato di salvare le loro cose

Lo scrittore Samuel Pepys ha descritto la scena nel suo diario.

Ha scritto: "... le persone gridavano e piangevano e correvano per le strade.
Portarono mobili, vestiti, scarpe, libri e strumenti musicali. "Alcune persone correvano verso il Tamigi e fuggivano in barche fluviali.

Il fuoco è bruciato per quattro giorni.

Dopo il fuoco, le autorità della città ricostruirono Londra.
Il famoso architetto inglese, Christopher Wren, ha ricostruito 49 chiese tra cui la Cattedrale di San Paolo.
Ha anche costruito il monumento al grande fuoco vicino al ponte di Londra.
E' alto 61 metri - l'esatta distanza dalla sua base al sito del negozio di panetteria di Farynor dove il fuoco cominciò.

Closely combined with two other disasters: the London plaque of 1665 and the military Medway raid by the Dutch of 1667

I remember the White House was being burned too with this title and photos.
