Loss in London - Monument

4 of 4

The Monument to The Great Fire of London, erected to commemorate the fire of 1666 and the people who lost their lives to it, is also the site of where six people committed suicide between 1788 and 1842. This is apparently very close to the "official" number of deaths The Great Fire itself caused; as peasants were not considered important enough to record at the time though, its not even close to the actual unknown figure.
