London has burned many times across the centuries. |
| [00:07.89] |
Its day of judgement revisited again and again. |
| [00:21.10] |
All over the Thames with one's face in the wind, |
| [00:23.97] |
you were almost burned with a shower of fire drops. |
| [00:30.61] |
Above 10,000 houses all in one flame.' |
| [00:35.20] |
the noise and crackling and thunder of the impetuous flames.' |
| [00:39.27] |
the shrieking of women and children, |
| [00:41.71] |
the hurry of people, the fall of towers, |
| [00:45.19] |
houses and churches was like a hideous storm |
| [01:00.64] |
The Great Fire Of London burned for seven days. |
| [01:06.12] |
The ruins resembling the picture of Troy. |
| [01:21.00] |
Over 13,000 buildings were destroyed. |
| [01:23.87] |
It was the calamity of the age, |
| [01:27.74] |
but the smouldering hole at the heart of the city would prove to be a huge inspiration. |
| [01:34.35] |
Plans were drawn up to bring a new order of beauty to London. |
