LCC-MFB Scotland Yard fire station, London SW1
Located in Great Scotland Yard SW1, Scotland Yard fire station was finally opened in 1884, although construction had started two years earlier. The adoption of motorised fire engines by the renamed London Fire Brigade led to a reduction in the number of stations required. Scotland Yard was one of the 15 stations recommended for closure. It remains standing today and is the location of the Civil Service Club

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the grand facade of Scotland Yard fire station located in Great Scotland Yard, London SW1. Established in 1884, the station was built during the Victorian era when the London County Council (LCC) and Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) were responsible for firefighting services in London. The station's impressive architecture reflects the importance of firefighting during this period, with its large, red-brick building exuding a sense of strength and resilience. The fire station was one of 15 recommended for closure as the London Fire Brigade adopted motorised fire engines, which reduced the need for a large number of stations. Despite this, Scotland Yard fire station remains standing today, a testament to its historical significance. The station's location in the heart of London, near Whitehall and Westminster, adds to its allure. It is now the site of the Civil Service Club, providing a unique connection to the city's rich history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and importance of firefighting during the Victorian era." Mary Evans Picture Library / Mary Evans Prints Online.
