LCC-LFB Hornsey Rise fire station, North London

Hornsey Rise fire station was only operational for 13 years. Located at 45-51 Calverley Road, North London, it was opened in 1907. However, the adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB led to a reduction in the number of stations required. A report produced in 1920 recommended the closure of 15 stations, including Hornsey Rise

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of Hornsey Rise fire station in North London, an Edwardian-era building that once served as a vital hub for the London Fire Brigade (LFB) from 1907 to 1920. Located at 45-51 Calverley Road, the fire station was one of many built in response to the increasing need for fire protection in London following the devastating fires of the late 19th century. The large, red-brick building with its ornate detailing and tall, arched windows exudes a sense of importance and authority. Fire engines and horses are visible in the foreground, underscoring the station's role as a hub for firefighting operations. However, the adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB in the early 1900s led to a reduction in the number of stations required. A report produced in 1920 recommended the closure of 15 stations, including Hornsey Rise, which marked the end of an era for this historic building. Despite its brief 13-year tenure, Hornsey Rise fire station played an essential role in protecting the North London community from fire threats during the early 20th century. Today, the building stands as a reminder of the rich history of firefighting in London and the evolution of the London Fire Brigade.
