EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Clerkenwell Fire Station of the London Fire Brigade, a historic building that has served the community since its original construction in 1870. The image showcases the fire station's distinctive red brick facade, adorned with the London Fire Brigade crest and the GLC (Greater London Council) emblem. The station underwent a significant rebuild in 1916, expanding to accommodate two additional fire engine bays. The new bays are visible in this photograph, with their large garage doors open, revealing the gleaming fire engines housed within. The presence of the drill tower, estimated to have been built between 1965 and 1975, helps to pinpoint the exact date of the photograph. This tower was an essential training facility for firefighters, allowing them to practice their skills and prepare for various emergency situations. The London Fire Brigade has a long and proud history of protecting the city and its residents, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a fire station during the 1970s. Firefighting vehicles, hoses, and equipment are visible in the foreground, while the fire station's bell tower looms in the background, signaling the readiness and dedication of the brave men and women who served and continue to serve as firefighters. This photograph is a testament to the importance of fire stations in our communities and the vital role they play in ensuring the safety and well-being of the public. It is a powerful reminder of the past, present, and future of the London Fire Brigade.
