Abstract

The incidence of fire damage in southern England fell off steeply about 1780. This is traced to a spreading movement to build or rebuild in brick-and-tile instead of ‘mud’, timber and thatch, reinforced by improvements in fire-fighting. It resulted in the predominantly Georgian central buildings of southern market towns.
