       On the night of September 2, 1666, a small fire broke out in the premises of a baker's shop in Pudding Lane, London, perhaps started by the carelessness of a maid. A journeyman living above the bakery raised the alarm. The household jumped to safety from the roof – except for one maid, who became the fire's first victim.

        Pudding Lane was a narrow street of timbered buildings and wattle-and-daub shelters, many of them housing cook shops. It backed on to Fish Street Hill, which led to London Bridge, it self lined with buildings made of plaster and wood. Once fire took hold in Thomas Farryner's bakery kitchen that night, it spread swiftly.

       If it was carelessness, it was carelessness that had enormous and disastrous consequences, for the fire spread and soon the whole building was alight. In the close-packed streets of London, where buildings jostled each other for space, the blaze soon became an inferno. Fanned by an east wind, the fire spread with terrifying speed, feeding on the tar and pitch commonly used to seal houses.

       Our best account of the Fire comes from the diaries of Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Admiralty. He watched the course of the destruction from a safe position across the Thames, and called it, "a most malicious bloody flame, as one entire arch of fire... of above a mile long. It made me weep to see it.

        The churches, houses, and all on fire and flaming at once, and a horrid noise the flames made, and the cracking of houses at their ruin ...Over the Thames with one's face in the wind you were almost burned with a shower of fire drops." Pepys buried his wine and parmesan cheese to keep those valuable items safe from the flames.
