Old St. Paul's School: A Beacon of Education in the Heart of the City of London After the Devastating Great Fire of 1666 This photograph print, dating back to the 19th century, showcases the Old St. Paul's School, proudly standing in the bustling Cheapside area of the City of London. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the school's rich history and its resilience in the face of adversity. The Old St. Paul's School was originally established in 1512 and was located near the ancient St. Paul's Cathedral. However, its fate was forever changed during the Great Fire of London in 1666. The fire, which ravaged the city for four days, left Old St. Paul's School in ruins, along with many other historic structures. Despite the destruction, the school community remained determined to rebuild and continue providing education to the children of London. In the late 17th century, a new school was constructed on the same site, designed by the renowned architect Christopher Wren. The new building, depicted in this photograph, was a testament to the school's enduring spirit and its commitment to the future generations. The Old St. Paul's School, with its grand architecture and picturesque setting, stands as a symbol of hope and resilience. The image captures the essence of the school's long and storied history, as well as the vibrant energy of the City of London during the 19th century. This photograph print is an invaluable historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable story of Old St. Paul's School.
