About this episode

This episode discusses the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire and the role of developers like Nicholas Barbon in the process.

'Where there's muck, there's brass', and that was certainly the case with rebuilding London from the mess of ash and rubble that remained. And developers like Nicholas Barbon knew how to make as much brass as possible, and as fast as possible.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
