About Fencing in Blandford Forum
Blandford Forum in Dorset owes its distinctive appearance to tragedy, after a devastating fire broke out in a tallow chandler's house on 4 June 1731 and swept through the town, destroying around three hundred homes and shops and all but three houses in the neighbouring settlements of Blandford St Mary and Bryanston. The disaster became a matter of national concern, with King George II contributing £1,000 towards rebuilding, and the reconstruction was led by local architects John and William Bastard, whose uniform red brick and stone Georgian buildings gave Blandford the harmonious character that still makes it, by many accounts, the finest example of a small Georgian town in the country.
