A Monumental Move from Dublin to London
Posted on 1st March 2023 at 22:53
Removals from Dublin to London is a regular trip that we do, and moving into the City of London next to this famous landmark just had to be photographed.
Moving from Dublin to London has been happening for centuries, but not many people would have been heading there in 1666, as that was when the Great Fire Of London happened.
In fact it is still commerated by the street names, and Pudding Lane, in particular, which was where the Kings Baker's Shop once stood, and where the fire
was accidently started.
The fire raged for Four Days, before it burned itself out.
It is thought that the reasons that it spread so much and lasted so long was because the buildings were so tightly packed and were built of wood, and also the fact that there was no fire brigade to call on in those days, so depended on neighbours throwing buckets of water onto the flames.
The fire destroyed over 130,000 houses, churches and included St Pauls Cathedral, which had to be rebuilt.
Just over ten years after the Great Fire of London, a Monument was completed, to commemorate The Tragedy of the fire, which has become to be called
simply The Monument. It is situated 202 ft west of the Pudding Lane , where the fire started, and is also 202 ft in Height.
It was designed by prominent architects, including Sir Christopher Wren.
There is an entrance to The Monument, and it is an historic tourist attraction.
