EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Caledonian Road fire station B69, located at 158-164 Copenhagen Street in North London. Built in 1909, this fire station was a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) network, serving the community for over two decades. However, with the adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB in the early 1900s, a report in the 1920s recommended the permanent closure of 15 fire stations due to the reduced need for horse-drawn fire engines. Sadly, B69 Caledonian Road was one of the first stations to be closed as a result. The red brick building, with its distinctive corner chimney, stands proudly against the sky, a testament to the essential role firefighters played in protecting the community from fire. The fire station, with its large bay doors, was a hive of activity, as fire engines were dispatched to emergencies around the clock. The chimneys, a common feature of London's industrial past, add to the historical context of the photograph. Despite its closure, the memory of B69 Caledonian Road fire station lives on, a reminder of the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who served there. Today, the building stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time when the London Fire Brigade relied on horse-drawn fire engines and the community looked to its local fire station for protection.
