"On 26 May 1676, a fire consumed most of central Southwark... This book tells the story behind the Great Fire of Southwark, the City of London's failed designs to reconstruct Southwark to its liking, and the Southwark Fire Court's unrelenting effort to identify the builders best able to put Southwark back on its feet. The book also includes digests of all fifty-two of the Court's decrees, which illuminate both the nature of property holdings in London and the ordinary people and places of Southwark." -- dust-jacket, page [2].
