EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene yet bustling scene at Lambeth river fire station on the Albert Embankment in the 1950s. Established in 1903, Lambeth was one of three river fire stations in the London Fire Brigade, with the others being located in Woolwich. In this image, firefighters are seen preparing their boats for duty, their determined expressions contrasting with the peaceful reflection of the Thames and the iconic Parliament buildings in the background. The scene is a testament to the vital role the London Fire Brigade played in protecting the city's riverside communities and landmarks from fires that could easily spread from the nearby houses and warehouses. The photograph also offers a unique perspective of London in the 1950s, with the iconic views of Westminster and the waterfront providing a picturesque backdrop to the daily routine of the fire service. This photograph, taken from the collection of the London Fire Brigade at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical record of the important work carried out by the brigade on the capital's rivers.
