The Tower in flames

In the early hours of 31 October 1841, the Grand Storehouse caught fire and burned to the ground. Crowds watched the flames destroy the huge 17th-century building and artists painted the spectacle.
The fire began in a gun workshop and spread to the Grand Storehouse. It also destroyed part of Henry II's 13th-century outer wall. The Grand Storehouse had been built in 1692 to store and display weaponry. It replaced Henry VIII's armoury storehouses and was in turn replaced in 1842 by the massive Waterloo Barracks which you can see today.
