The first stage was to initially research the Great Fire of London and the Blitz. From this research a narrative had to be written and a way-station designed.
The narrative is about the Great Fire of London and the Blitz and how fire was extinguished from the city through containment or water. It is based on personal accounts from diaries and letters, which were found at the British Library, the Museum of London and the London Metropolitan Archives. I also visited the Monument (memorial to the Great Fire) and St Magnus the Martyr Church. The style of writing is punchy emphasising feelings and visual imagery so the reader understands as much as possible.
From my research I plotted the emotive quotes onto historic maps of London and found areas of importance from the Great Fire and the Blitz. This gave a structure for the narrative and a function for my way-station.
