EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare and delightful moment from the 1970s, as firefighters from the London Fire Brigade take a well-deserved break from their duties and enjoy a night out at the Festival Gardens in Battersea, South London. The scene is set against the backdrop of the beautiful park, with its lush greenery and serene water features providing a picturesque setting for the evening's festivities. The firefighters, both men and women, are seen mingling and laughing together, some clad in their iconic uniforms, while others have shed their protective gear for the evening. The camaraderie and sense of community among these brave individuals is palpable, as they take a moment to unwind and connect with one another. But the real surprise of the evening comes in the form of some unexpected guests. In the center of the photograph, a group of dolphins can be seen frolicking in the water of the park's pool, much to the delight of the onlookers. The firefighters gather around the edge of the pool, feeding the dolphins and marveling at their grace and agility. This image, taken in 1972, offers a unique glimpse into the personal lives of the London Fire Brigade, showcasing their humanity and sense of fun outside of the high-pressure environment of firefighting. The presence of the dolphins adds an element of whimsy and wonder, making this photograph a truly unforgettable snapshot of a bygone era.
