EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of brave London County Council-Metropolitan Fire Brigade (LCC-MFB) firefighters at their West Hampstead Fire Station, located at 325 West End Road, in the late 1890s. The firemen are proudly posing in front of their horse-drawn steam fire engine, a testament to the traditional methods of firefighting during the Victorian era. The fire station, which opened in 1901, was one of many established to protect the growing population of London from the threat of fire. The firefighters, dressed in their iconic uniforms, are shown with their stern expressions and determined posture, ready for action. The horse-drawn steam engine, a powerful and essential piece of equipment during this time, is prominently displayed on the forecourt of the station. The crew, with their gloved hands on the reins and harnesses, are poised to move the engine to the scene of a fire at a moment's notice. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and hard work of the firefighters during an era when firefighting was a more manual and labor-intensive process. It is a reminder of the important role that firefighters play in protecting communities and keeping people safe from the devastating effects of fire.
