The Great Fire of London traveled from house to house, building to building because the buildings were made predominantly from wood and the streets were extremely narrow. Add this to the fact that London had experienced a dry summer and London was extremely flammable.
In 1613, The First Globe Theatre burned down during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. Sparks that flew from a cannon used during the production ignited a thatched roof of the gallery, resulting in the fire. The theater was rebuilt with a tile roof and reopened a year later. The Puritans closed all the theaters in London in 1642, including the Globe. Remnants of the building were discovered in 1989 and a replica of the theater was built and opened in 1997. It sports the first thatched roof permitted in London since the Great Fire of London in 1666.
