EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Lewisham Fire Station, located at 340 High Street in SE London. Built in 1898, this Edwardian-era fire station served the community for over 69 years before closing its doors in 1967. The red brick building, adorned with intricate stone detailing, stands as a testament to the rich history of firefighting in Lewisham. During its operational years, the station was a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's network, providing essential firefighting services to the residents of Lewisham and its surrounding areas. The fire engines, hoses, and other equipment housed within this building were ready to respond to any emergency at a moment's notice. The Victorian-inspired architecture of the station is a reminder of the era in which it was built, with its tall, arched windows, intricate stonework, and distinctive chimney. The fire station's proximity to the High Street made it a familiar sight for generations of Lewisham residents, who would pass by the building on their daily errands. Sadly, with the advancement of technology and the changing needs of the London Fire Brigade, the Lewisham Fire Station was closed in 1967, and a new station (E21) was opened. Today, this historic building stands as a reminder of the brave men and women who risked their lives to protect the community from fire and the importance of fire safety. This photograph, taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era.
