This was so V THE GREAT FIRE OF 1676 151 much the case in South wark, that even after 1830 a very large number of houses remained of timber, and gable fronted. Many of my poorer patients lived in such houses, and I could find, even now, a few of this descrip- tion kept 'indifferently well repaired.' ^ The inns of the High Street and St. Margaret's Hill, from London Bridge to St. George's Church, almost answered the description given about 1600 in Decker's Belmans Night Walkes, c. 1609. 'In the ...suburbs about London,' the Belman says, ' they swim in hot waters, strong beer and head- strong ale. ... A whole street is a continued ale house, not a shop to be seen between red lattice and red lattice, no workers but all drinkers.' This being the case, we see what havoc the great fire of 1676 must have caused among the inns of Long Southwark. We have had many fires in Southwark, especially fatal to these inns. They have been generally fastened upon some unlucky scape- goats. The one in 1508 upon certain Scots and French ; that in 1667 upon three Frenchmen, who fled.
