This week N Quentin Woolf is at Westminster Hall - the historic heart of the British parliament. He hears from Caroline Shenton, author of The Day Parliament Burnt Down, about the incredible moment in 1834 when the houses of parliament were destroyed by fire, leading to the building of the iconic Victorian gothic structures known worldwide. Westminster Hall itself was only saved by heroic firefighting efforts.
