EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the horse-drawn steamer of London Fire Brigade's Bishopsgate Station No. 36. The image showcases the vintage firefighting appliance without its horses, revealing the intricate details of the engine. The large, ornate firebox is prominently positioned near the large rear wheel, while the suction hose is already connected to the engine, ready for action. Small ladders are carried on both sides of the engine, adding to the appliance's versatility in tackling fires from various heights. The horse-drawn steamers were an essential part of London Fire Brigade's fleet during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These powerful machines were capable of pumping large volumes of water to extinguish fires, making them indispensable in the densely populated city. The absence of horses in this photograph underscores the evolution of firefighting technology, as motorized fire engines gradually replaced horse-drawn appliances. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of firefighting in London. The meticulously preserved horse-drawn steamer, with its firebox, large rear wheel, connected suction hose, and small ladders, stands as a testament to the bravery and innovation of the London Fire Brigade. This image is an essential addition to any collection focusing on firefighting, transport, or London history.
