EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the newly built Lee Green fire station in SE London, located at the corner of Eltham Road and Lee High Road, stands proudly as a beacon of safety and security for the community. Replacing the former sub-station that was situated in a row of shops in nearby Lee High Road, this Edwardian-style fire station was constructed by the London County Council (LCC) in the early 1910s. The fire station, operated by the London Fire Brigade (LFB), is a testament to the importance of fire prevention and emergency response services in the rapidly growing urban areas of early 20th century London. With its red brick facade, tall chimney, and distinctive arched windows, the building exudes a sense of solidity and reliability. The fire engine, parked outside, is ready to respond to any emergency call, its hoses coiled neatly beside it. The photograph captures the fire station in its prime, with the surrounding streets relatively quiet and devoid of traffic. The corner location of the station allows for easy access to the busy Eltham Road, ensuring that the firefighters can reach the scene of an emergency quickly and efficiently. The fire station's proximity to the shops and residential buildings in the area also underscores the importance of having a fire station in the heart of the community. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time to a period when firefighting was a more manual and labour-intensive process. The fire station serves as a reminder of the dedication and bravery of the firefighters who have protected London's communities for over a century. Today, the Lee Green fire station continues to serve the people of SE London, ensuring that they are always prepared for any emergency situation that may arise.
