1. Title: A Piece of London's Firefighting History: East Greenwich Fire Station, SE10 (1902) This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of the East Greenwich Fire Station, located at 2 Tunnel Avenue in the heart of SE10, London. Built by the London County Council in 1902, this Edwardian-era fire station served the community for over eight decades before being closed in 1985. The imposing red-brick building, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate detailing, stands as a testament to the commitment and dedication of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) in safeguarding the lives and properties of Londoners. The station's name, "London County Council - Metropolitan Fire Brigade," is proudly displayed above the entrance, reflecting its rich history and heritage. The fire station, with its tall chimney and spacious grounds, exudes a sense of purpose and readiness. Fire engines and hoses, neatly arranged in the foreground, are a reminder of the vital role this structure played in the daily operations of the LFB. The photograph, taken in 1905, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural beauty and historical significance of this once-active fire station. Today, the building, though no longer in use, remains an essential part of East Greenwich's history and a cherished piece of London's firefighting legacy. The London County Council (LCC) and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) merged in 1965 to form the Greater London Council Fire Brigade, which later became the London Fire Brigade in 2006. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the long-standing partnership between the local government and the fire service in ensuring the safety and well-being of Londoners.
