35 In this time was the old city on London very different from today s city. People threw all their rubbish into the streets and there were rats everywhere. In the evening of 2 September 1666 Thomas Farynor, a baker was in his bakery in Pudding Lane near London Bridge. He was making some bread then he put loaves of bread into the oven and went to bed, his assistant looked after them.but he fell asleep. When he woke up at about two o clock in the morning, the bakery was on fire. From the bakery the fire spread to the next house and then the next house and then the next. Soon several streets were on fire. Some people tried to save their houses, but it wasn t good. The fire was too stong, so they grabbed their children, money and clothes and they ran. The streets were full of people, horses and cart, as everyone tried to escape from the fire.

36 The fire burnet for fours days and it destroyed most of the city. Amazingly, only six people died, but almost everyone lost their home. The people of London had to build a new city. They desiced to build a better, more modern city with wide, straight streets. It was cleaner and safer, too. Because people didn t want another fire, so all the buildings were made of bricks or stone, no wood. Sir Christopher Wren build a new St Paul s Cathedral. Everyone agreed that it was more beautiful than the old cathedral. Today near London Bridge you can see the Monument to the Great Fire of London. It is therty- three metres hight, because it is thirty- three metres from the bakery in Pudding Lane where the fire started.
