The Great Fire Dogs by Megan Rix – follow the adventures of two dogs, Woofer and Tiger Lily, as they brave The Great Fire of 1666. That could almost stand for a good phrase to describe the people in this novel. These are the London lost, the London lonely, the London mad - the city's victims, the city's prisoners. The fears of terrorism received an extra boost from the disruption of communications and news. The General Letter Office in Threadneedle Street, through which post passed for the entire country, burned down early on Monday morning. The London Gazette just managed to put out its Monday issue before the printer's premises went up in flames. [75] Suspicions rose to panic and collective paranoia on Monday, and both the Trained Bands and the Coldstream Guards focused less on fire fighting and more on rounding up foreigners and anyone else appearing suspicious, arresting them, rescuing them from mobs, or both. [76] [77]But before they could use fire hooks, the people of Pudding Lane needed to ask the Lord Mayor if they were allowed to – and he had to say ‘yes’.

[58] The spread to the south was mostly halted by the river, but it had torched the houses on London Bridge and was threatening to cross the bridge and endanger the borough of Southwark on the south bank of the river. London Bridge, the only physical connection between the City and the south side of the river Thames, had been noted as a deathtrap in the fire of 1633. [59] However, Southwark was preserved by an open space between buildings on the bridge which acted as a firebreak. [60] [61]

Source 5 provides evidence of how Charles hoped to improve the city and prevent such a calamity happening again. SP 29/171 Rat: So, Pepys went to command the Lord Mayor to pull down the houses, while King Charles II followed up the Thames in his royal barge to see the fire for himself.On Charles' initiative, a Monument to the Great Fire of London was erected near Pudding Lane, designed by Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, standing 61 + 1⁄ 2 metres (202ft) tall. [137] [160] In 1681, accusations against the Catholics were added to the inscription on the Monument which read, in part, "Popish frenzy which wrought such horrors, is not yet quenched". [161] The inscription remained until after the passage of the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 when it was removed in 1830 following a successful campaign by City Solicitor Charles Pearson. [162] [163] Another monument marks the spot where the fire is said to have died out: the Golden Boy of Pye Corner in Smithfield. [164] [161]
