EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-MFB North Woolwich fire station, located at 236 Albert Road in the East End of London. Built by the London County Council, this fire station was a vital part of the community and the closest one to the expansive Royal Albert Docks. The year is around 1900, and the station, with its red brick facade and tall chimney, exudes a sense of Victorian grandeur. The fire station, which was part of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), served the North Woolwich area and its bustling docklands. The corner building, with its large arched windows and intricate brickwork, stands proudly on the street, a testament to the importance of fire safety during the industrial era. The fire station was in operation until 1935, when it was eventually closed. Today, the site may have undergone changes, but this photograph serves as a reminder of the essential role the fire service played in the lives of Londoners and the rich history of the North Woolwich community.
