   Hi
I am an architectural conservation studant! would be greatfull to anyone who would like to answer my short questionnaire!

thanks, Christina
It wouldnt let me attach as a file so i had to copy and paste on to here!!! 

I am a architectural conservation student doing a dissertation concerning the great fire of london and to what extent the great fire and the rebuilding acts resulting from it changed and improved the construction of buildings in the subsequent rebuilding of London. I will also be challenging the general idea that the great fire miraculously changed the city from a slowly decaying timber city waiting to catch fire to a stone and brick metropolis.
I would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete this questionnaire! 
Thank you very much for your time, 
Christina Hanley.
