The Monument

Monument Street, City, EC3R 8AH

The Monument stands at the junction of Monument Street and Fish Street Hill in the City of London. It was built between 1671 and 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire of London and to celebrate the rebuilding of the City.

The fire began in a baker's house in Pudding Lane on Sunday 2nd September 1666 and finally extinguished on Wednesday 5th September, after destroying the greater part of the City. Although there was little loss of life, the fire brought all activity to a halt, having consumed or severely damaged thousands of houses, hundreds of streets, the City's gates, public buildings, churches and St. Paul's Cathedral. The only buildings to survive in part were those built of stone, like St. Paul's and the Guildhall.

As part of the rebuilding, it was decided to erect a permanent memorial of the Great Fire near the place where it began. Sir Christopher Wren, Surveyor General to King Charles II and the architect of St. Paul's Cathedral, and hisfriend and colleague, Dr Robert Hooke, provided a design for a colossal Doric column in the antique tradition. They drew up plans for a column containing a cantilevered stone staircase of 311 steps leading to a viewing platform. This was surmounted by a drum and a copper urn from which flames emerged, symbolising the Great Fire. The Monument, as it came to be called, is 61 metres high (202 feet) - the exact distance between it and the site in Pudding Lane where the fire began.

Clink Prison Museum http://www.clink.co.uk

Clink Street, London, SE1 9DG

The original and notorious Clink Prison was used for the detention of religious non-conformists, priests who refused the Oath of Allegiance and for everyday criminals and those who broke the peace on Bankside or in Southwark's brothels. The Clink Prison was also the first prison in which women were regularly confined and therefore the first women's prison. After it burned down during the Gordon Riots of 1780, the Clink was never rebuilt. The Clink Prison Museum is currently located on the original prison site, within the basement of what was once a warehouse in Clink Street.
