The Great Fire of Norwich
In the spring of 1507, Norwich was one of England's most prosperous cities. Then two devastating fires swept through its crowded streets, destroying hundreds of homes and leaving communities on both sides of the River Wensum struggling to recover. In this episode of Compact Disasters, we follow the flames from Tombland to the northern neighbourhoods, explore the human cost preserved in buried household possessions, and discover how Norwich rebuilt itself through charity, civic action and new building rules.
