EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Plumstead Fire Station, SE London (1910) - A Historical Edwardian Firehouse on Plumstead High Street Plumstead Fire Station, located in Plumstead High Street, SE London, is an Edwardian-era fire station that opened its doors in 1906. This historic building, operated by the London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, was one of the boundary fire stations situated along the border between the LCC and the Kent Fire Brigade. The unique lettering on the building, which substitutes the letter V for the U in "LFB," can also be found on Euston fire station. The Plumstead Fire Station, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate detailing, stands proudly as a cornerstone of the community. The building's textured walls and intricate inscriptions add to its historical charm, transporting us back to the early 20th century. This photograph, taken in 1910, captures the essence of the fire station during its prime. The fire engines, hoses, and other equipment are neatly arranged, showcasing the meticulous organization and preparedness of the firefighters. The fire station's location on Plumstead High Street, a bustling commercial area, further highlights the importance of having a fire station within close proximity to the community. The Plumstead Fire Station's rich history is a testament to the dedication and service of the London Fire Brigade. Its presence along the LCC-Kent border is a reminder of the collaborative efforts between fire services in London and its surrounding areas during the early 20th century. Today, this iconic building continues to serve the Plumstead community, embodying the resilience and commitment of the fire service.
