EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past: A glimpse inside Knightsbridge Fire Station, No 16 Basil Street, Chelsea, London in 1939. This print captures the interior of the station with its impressive display of fire engines and ladders. The advertisement boldly invites viewers to 'Join the London Auxiliary Fire Service', a call to action during a time when emergency services were crucial. Located in the heart of Kensington and Chelsea, this historic fire station served as an essential hub for firefighters dedicated to protecting their community. The image showcases the equipment meticulously arranged within the station, reflecting both order and readiness. The monochrome tones add depth and evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's London County Council Photograph Library, this photograph offers us a unique window into London's past. It serves as a reminder of the brave men who risked their lives daily to safeguard our city from devastating fires. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let it be an inspiration to appreciate our modern-day emergency services who continue to selflessly serve our communities today.
