1884 Greenwich in London is established as the World Prime Meridian of longitude, at a conference in Washington DC of 41 delegates from twenty five nations, by a vote of 22 to 1 against (San Domingo) with 2 abstentions (France, Brazil).

(The USA had already used Greenwich to establish its own national time zones, and in the late nineteenth century the majority of shipping trade already used maps and charts using Greenwich as zero degrees longitude).

In 2013, BS was experimenting with two zones at once with a meridian down the middle of the screen, thankfully this did not prove to be a permanent innovation....

On This Day 16th October :

1834 London - A fire destroys much of the medieval structures of the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament).
Charles Barry, with Augustus Pugin, wins the subsequent competition to reconstruct and expand the complex, with Gothic Revival style buildings. Beginning in 1840, construction will take 30 years, with neither of the two leading architects surviving to see its completion. (Interior decoration continues well into the 20th century).

On This Day 17th October :

1814 The London Beer Flood disaster, at the Horse Shoe Brewery, Tottenham Court Road.

9 people are killed when a 22 foot high wooden fermentation tank bursts, the blast opening several more adjacent vats and releasing a 320,000 gallon tsnumai of hot fermenting ale which collapses the back wall of the brewery and releases a 15 foot high wave of beer destroying many surrounding slum tenements and houses.

Some relatives of those killed exhibit the corpses for money.
In one house, there are so many visitors that the floor collapses, plunging all the visitors into a cellar filled waist-height with beer.

One victim dies of alcohol poisoning some days afterwards, a result of consuming too much of the free liquid accumulating in the streets and cellars.
The smell of beer perists for months in the streets.

Avoiding prosecution, as the accident is deemed "an Act of God", the brewery company is also able to avoid bankruptcy by reclaiming the tax already paid on the beer from the government, as well as receiving compensation for the lost beer.

Wooden fermentation casks are thereafter phased out in favour of concrete vats.

In 2015, BS viewers were raising a glass to.....
