1666 1673 Burned Stationers Reopened
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the enchanting interior of Stationers Hall, a historic building that has stood the test of time. This magnificent photograph, taken in the 19th century, captures the essence of the restored Hall following its destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The new Stationers Hall, which reopened in 1673, retains much of its original charm and character, offering a glimpse into the past. The ornate woodwork, intricate plasterwork, and grand fireplace are all remnants of the Hall's rich history. The high ceilings, adorned with elaborate designs, create an air of grandeur and sophistication, while the large windows allow natural light to filter in, illuminating the space. The Stationers Company, which was established in 1403, was originally responsible for regulating the trade of writing materials, printing, and bookbinding in London. The Hall served as the Company's headquarters and a place for members to gather, socialize, and conduct business. Despite the devastating fire that destroyed the original Hall, the spirit of the Stationers Company endured, and the new building was erected as a testament to their resilience and commitment to preserving their heritage. Today, Stationers Hall stands as a reminder of London's rich history and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
