Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Pauls and the Guildull among them.Samuel Papys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(), wanted a city with wider street and fine new houses of stone.
