Among the London buildings destroyed in the recent great fire-bomb attack was Trinity House (above), on the north side of Tower Hill. It was erected at the close of the 18th century from designs by Samuel Wyatt, and is the property of the Guild which regulates and controls the lighthouses and buoys round the British coasts and appoints qualified pilots. Left, St. Lawrence Jewry, a famous Wren church, which contained some valuable wood carvings by Grinling Gibbons. It is often referred to as the "Neio Zealand Church." Right, St. Bride's Church, in a courtyard off Fleet Street. Only the magnificent spire is left.
