The scaffold is finally coming down after a fire tore through the roof of St Paul’s Cathedral two years ago, but the blaze sparked redevelopments that will result in it becoming a modern community space.
The roof fire occurred in August 2020 and left the building with a hole in the roof and a water-damaged floor.
The Very Rev Dr Tony Curtis, dean of the cathedral, said the repairs in the main hall were almost complete and the scaffolding would be removed for the service this Sunday.
