From ashes to industry: within a few years of the Great Fire, the first fire insurance companies appeared in London, marking insured homes with metal "fire marks" so private brigades knew which buildings to save. One of the stories in our new exhibition. #InsuranceHistory

[insurance museum @InsuranceMuseum]

360 years ago this week: in the early hours of 2 September 1666, fire broke out on Pudding Lane. Four days later ~13,000 houses, 87 churches and St Paul's Cathedral were gone. #AfterTheGreatFire #InsuranceMuseum
