After the burning of London, the people desired to make their houses and culture more permanent, so they decided to rebuild with brick and stones. They kept the same street layouts and left the purposes of the buildings the same, but just made the buildings permanent, ensuring their culture lasted for future generations. The people of London experienced great trauma with the burning of their city. I can image that this event is comparable to the events that happed on 9/11. These tramatic events tend to be seared into the brain of those who experienced it and then they pass it on.That is why I believe that the fire is still in the modern day Londoner mind.
