EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts Bethnal Green Fire Station, an iconic Victorian building located at 51 Roman Road in East London. Built and opened in 1899, this historic fire station was a vital part of the London County Council's Metropolitan Fire Brigade (LCC-MFB) network. The red brick station, with its distinctive round tower and large corner turret, exudes an air of authority and reliability.

It was eventually replaced by a modern fire station to meet the evolving needs of the growing city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and importance of firefighting in London during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Victorian architecture of the Bethnal Green Fire Station is a testament to the craftsmanship and design of the era. Its imposing presence on the corner of Roman Road and a nearby street is a reminder of the vital role fire stations played in protecting the city and its residents. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of London history or firefighting memorabilia. The London County Council's Metropolitan Fire Brigade (LCC-MFB) played a crucial role in the development of London's firefighting services. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition of the London Fire Brigade and its commitment to keeping the city safe.
