Now that debris has been cleared away it can be seen that the walls of the city's historic Guildhall have survived the second Great Fire of London, started by the Nazis. Most of the damage sustained was to the roof, which is of comparatively recent origin, and other parts which had no great historic value. In a few years Guildhall should rise again in a form even more worthy of its traditions as the civic centre of the greatest city in the world. The picture shows part of the walls near the Nelson memorial.
