EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricate workings of the rear section of a Shand Mason steam fire engine from the London Fire Brigade's collection during the early 1900s. The Edwardian era transport equipment, a testament to the technological advancements of the time, is seen here in its working end, where the steam-driven fire pump takes center stage. The Shand Mason horse-drawn engine, a staple in firefighting services during this period, was a marvel of engineering that harnessed the power of steam to aid in extinguishing fires. The detail in this image reveals the complex machinery that made this possible, with various pipes, valves, and gears all working in harmony to deliver water to the fire hose. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to preserving such historical appliances not only pays homage to the rich history of firefighting but also serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the industry. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the inner workings of a crucial piece of firefighting equipment from the early 20th century.
