A wonderful film that I shall recommend to anyone and everyone who''ll listen. Thank you, from a proud resident of Gateshead.

I remember learning about this in primary school and watching this later. The soundtrack you used was perfect as it gave a combined feeling of fear and dread but it never distracts from the history or narrative. I remember being fascinated by this peace as a child and it helped spark my Passion for history though it always made me feel uneasy. It's a shame it isn't as well known as the grate fire of London though I feel it deserves to be more well known.

I was walking through a graveyard in Gateshead and came across Charles Bertrams gravestone and it said how he died in a fire and explosion at hillgate. So when I googled it I learned about the great fire, and no one I know had ever heard of it. Great film, thank you, now I know how it all happened.

Hi Gemma, thanks for this. It really is a fascinating and tragic story.

Wow that's the very first time I have seen or even heard of the Great Fire. What an interesting no that's not the word for this it's amazing and outstanding I was enthralled to see places and listen to this true story. They should make a film ( I mean a film with actors etc). You have made my afternoon and Thankyou to all of the people who explained this so well. I Appreciate your time and effort Thank you.

Why does the woman seem pleased when talking about loss of life in this horrific tragedy.

[@robnewman6101]

Great Plauge & Fires of London. 1665 and 1666.

It's on the front cover of a history book issued to all school pupils around 1979 in Gateshead. God's judgement on a ungodly city sounds about right as it's not much better these days. Gateshead is a town, Newcastle is a city.

[@WilliamKane-t1i]

Yes true however Newcastle never became a city until years later so the film and was it a lady who said they were both towns, was quite correct.
