Source 3: Map of London after the fire

[This map was made after the fire. It shows how much of London was ruined. The white area in the middle of the map shows the destroyed areas. Outside this, we can see how closely packed the houses were which escaped the fire. This helps to explain why the fire spread so quickly. At the top of the map is a view of the city in flames from Southwark, on the other side of the River Thames.]
