EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Lewisham Fire Station, located at 340 High Street in Lewisham, South East London. Built by the London County Council (LCC) and opened in 1898, this fire station was a vital part of the community for over 69 years. With its distinctive red brick façade and tall, arched windows, the building exudes a sense of tradition and authority. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) station, which served the Lewisham area, was a hub of activity during emergencies. Firefighters would respond to calls for help day and night, putting their lives on the line to protect people and property. The station was home to various fire engines, ladders, and other essential equipment, all housed in the spacious bays visible in the photograph. The photograph captures a quiet moment in the station's history, with fire engines neatly parked in their bays and firefighters likely on a break or preparing for their next call. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and hard work of the firefighters who served the Lewisham community. Sadly, the historic Lewisham Fire Station closed in 1967, making way for a new station in the same location. The old building, a testament to the rich history of firefighting in Lewisham, now stands as a cherished memory of the past. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the important role fire stations play in our communities and the brave men and women who serve in the London Fire Brigade.
