London Bridge Fire and City Council Action
A major blaze consumed London Bridge with minor houses spared. Lord Mayor led efforts, summoned Common Council, and sought Pitt's pardon notice offering 200 reward for incendiaries. Plans outlined for rapid bridge repair by May 1 with Sundays work, plus a temporary crossing and later Bridge Act projects. Also reports on waterman tensions, a Salisbury dwelling fire, and curious art exhibits with price cuts.
