EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the aftermath of the devastating fire that engulfed Savile House in London's Leicester Square in 1865. The historic photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a poignant reminder of the destructive power of fire. Savile House, a grand Victorian mansion located on the north side of Leicester Square, was a popular destination for London's elite. However, on the fateful night of October 17, 1865, a fire broke out in the attic, quickly spreading to the rest of the building. The blaze, fueled by the wooden structure and its abundant furnishings, raged for hours, leaving the once magnificent house in ruins. The photograph shows the charred remains of Savile House, its once ornate facade now reduced to blackened timbers and rubble. The square, usually bustling with activity, is eerily quiet, with only a few onlookers gathered to witness the destruction. The smoke-filled sky hangs heavy with the acrid smell of burnt wood and the weight of loss. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the past and the transient nature of human constructions. It also serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as the community came together to support those affected by the fire and rebuild their beloved Leicester Square. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective into London's past and the events that shaped its history.
