Comments:
The sign is on the site of St Benet Fink’s Church, a church that burned down in the Great Fire of London (1666). After the fire the church was rebuilt by the architect Christopher Wren who restored important parts that were burned in the great fire. Between the years 1841-1846 the church was destroyed mainly to make room for the Royal Stock Exchange.
