Royal Exchange and London’s near miss on a pistol scare
A fragmentary report recounts a London near-attack during a 17th century Royal Exchange opening, detailing a pistol threat by a man named M Gaffey, the failed shot at surveyor Arkle, and the crowd’s reaction. It includes history of the Exchange’s construction, openings under Elizabeth I and Charles II, and notes on the crowd’s discussions and consequences. The piece weaves in courtly anecdotes, city governance, and merchant anxieties about meeting spaces and regulation.

Conflagration at New Cross Railway Station
A massive fire erupted at New Cross Railway Station during a royal visit as the King of the French and his suite arrived by barge. Flames from the locomotive and carriage workshops engulfed the octagonal storehouse and adjacent facilities, destroying the vast sheds and many valuable fittings while the royal yacht and fleet observed, with the firemen battling for hours and the royal party continuing with minimal disruption.
