CASUALTIES BY FIRE
No record of the numerous buildings that have been destroyed by fire in Westminster has been found, and the list that appears below is therefore made up from such detached and casual data as have come incidentally to light. It has been found impossible to obtain dates in a few cases, and no doubt there are other omissions in the category. It makes no claim to absolute completeness, although so far as it goes it is deemed reasonably correct.
