The Great Fire of London - The Ashes of 1666
Manage episode 459215305 series 3502293
In the early hours of September 1666, a single spark in a baker’s shop ignited an unstoppable force—one that would consume the very soul of London. Within days, fire swallowed over 13,000 homes, St. Paul’s Cathedral crumbled in flames, and the sky above the Thames burned red.
But this was more than a fire. It was judgment. It was reckoning. It was rebirth.
What began in the glow of a dying oven became a storm of smoke and terror—panic in the streets, whispers of conspiracy, and the collapse of a city’s illusion of control. And yet, from the ashes, something unexpected emerged: a new London, built on the bones of the old.
Join Keith as he walks through the embers of catastrophe, uncovering tales of heroism, hysteria, and transformation. This is not just the story of a fire—it’s the moment London was destroyed… and reborn in flame.
