March 15, 2018: London Burning
The 1666 fire started in Thomas Farriner's bakery just after midnight on Sunday and burned till Wednesday, burning 13,200 houses,
87 parish churches, St Paul's Cathedral, and most of the buildings of the City authorities. They thought the 18 ft (5.5 m) Roman Wall would stop it but didn’t. 17th century firefighting… Quote:
But to tear down a building they needed permission from the owner or Lord Mayor Bloodworth. Quote:
American who was a star at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. Burn baby burn… link link

That looks surprisingly good with the real buildings in back all darkened so you can't see them.

Who is Pepy? And why does his home warrant a special place on the map?

Much of the detailed information comes from Samual Pepy's diary.
