EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of Old Kent Road fire station in SE1, London, as it stood proudly in 1905. Built by the London County Council (LCC), this Edwardian-era fire station was located at numbers 306-308 Old Kent Road. The Old Kent Road fire station was a vital part of the local community, providing essential firefighting services to the residents and businesses of South East London. The red brick building, adorned with intricate stone detailing and large arched windows, exudes a sense of strength and reliability. The fire station was home to a team of brave firefighters who were always ready to respond to emergencies day or night. The fire engine, parked prominently in front of the station, symbolizes the station's readiness to serve. Sadly, the Old Kent Road fire station closed in 1969, and the fire brigade moved to a new station on the opposite side of the road. Today, the historic building stands as a testament to the past, having been repurposed as an antique fireplace warehouse. The Old Kent Road fire station remains an important part of the area's history, and its grand architecture continues to draw the attention of passersby. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for the London Fire Brigade, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and importance of London's firefighting heritage. The Old Kent Road fire station, with its impressive design and rich history, is a reminder of the vital role that fire stations play in our communities.
