EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a mechanical Merryweather turntable ladder (TL) from Lambeth Fire Station (B22) at the Headquarters fire station of the Greater London Council Fire Brigade (GLC-LFB) in the 1960s. The GLC-LFB was established on 1 April 1965, and as part of the enlarged London Fire Brigade, a series of photographs was commissioned to document each type of fire engine, including this TL from Lambeth. The TL, a vital piece of firefighting equipment, is seen here in its pristine condition, showcasing the intricate details of its mechanical design. The ladder, capable of rotating 360 degrees, is raised and secured in the upright position, ready for action. The fire engine, adorned with the Lambeth Fire Station emblem, stands proudly, symbolizing the dedication and bravery of the firefighters who operated it. The 1960s was an era of significant change for the London Fire Brigade, with the amalgamation of various fire services into the GLC-LFB. This photograph serves as a snapshot of that period, capturing the essence of the fire service during a time of transition and growth. The Merryweather TL, a staple of the fire service, was renowned for its versatility and efficiency. Its ability to reach great heights and maneuver in tight spaces made it an indispensable tool for firefighters. This photograph is a testament to the importance of such equipment in the fire service and the critical role they play in saving lives and protecting property.
