After the great fire in London many different buildings started to be built to replace the destroyed city. During the great fire around a third of the standing city of London was destroyed. After the fire devistated the city they began to rebuild with better materials that were able to withstand more forces. These materials were things such as stone and brick. The people of London switched their building materials when they saw the destruction of all they know and love. The buildings and culture that had been thriving for so long was destroyed in an instant, and this rocked the people of London making them understand the importance of building a civilization that could last. The people didn't rebuild to make new buidings with different purposes, but they were rebuilding the same buildings for the same purposes as before. They didn't want to change their society, but continue living their lives the way they had been before.
