LCC-LFB Bayswater fire station, Paddington

Opened in 1904 and located in Pickering Place, Bayswater fire station closed in the early 1920s. The adoption of motorised fire engines by the London Fire Brigade led to a reduction in the number of fire stations required. A report produced for the London Country Council (Londons fire authority) in 1920 recommended the closure of 15 stations, and Bayswater was one of those

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Bayswater fire station, located in Pickering Place, Paddington, which opened its doors in 1904. The red-brick building, adorned with intricate architectural details, once served as a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's network. However, by the 1910s, advancements in firefighting technology, specifically the adoption of motorized fire engines, began to reduce the need for a large number of fire stations. A report commissioned by the London County Council (LCC) in 1920 recommended the closure of 15 fire stations across London to save costs. Sadly, Bayswater fire station was one of those selected for closure. The station, which once housed a team of brave firefighters and state-of-the-art equipment, now stands as a testament to the rich history of firefighting in London. The photograph, taken in 1918, captures the station in its final years of operation. The fire engines, which would have once roared down the streets of Bayswater, are now silent, and the firemen have moved on to newer stations. The building, though no longer in use, remains an essential piece of London's firefighting history. Its red-brick walls and ornate details continue to stand proudly on the corner of Pickering Place, a reminder of the vital role this station played in protecting the community from the fires that once threatened the city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the old Bayswater fire station in all its glory, as it stands as a symbol of London's firefighting heritage.
