A group of 24 Croydon Brothers and wives enjoyed a historical walk based on the Fire of London on the 350th Anniversary of the great fire.
The walk was led by Ian Bevan, a qualified London guide who has led previous historic London walks for the Circle.
The walk started at the Monument and followed the route of the fire from where it started at the Kings Bakery in Pudding Lane.
The fire was fanned by strong east winds and when it was finally extinguished only one fifth of London was left standing! Virtually all the civic buildings had been destroyed as well as 13,000 private dwellings, but amazingly only six people had died.
The walk finished near Tower Bridge with lunch at the ‘All Bar One’ pub.
