EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Hammersmith fire station located at 1-3 Brook Green Road, W6, in the heart of West London. Established in 1877 by the London County Council (LCC) and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), this grand Victorian building served as a vital hub for firefighting services in the community for over three decades. The red brick facade with intricate stone detailing and large arched windows exudes an air of authority and reliability, reflecting the important role the fire station played in protecting the residents of Hammersmith from fire hazards. The large street number and the distinctive "Fire Station" sign above the entrance add to the building's distinctive character. Sadly, this magnificent structure was closed in 1914, making way for a new fire station in Shepherds Bush Road. Despite its closure, the Hammersmith fire station remains an essential piece of local history, serving as a reminder of the courageous men and women who dedicated their lives to keeping the community safe. This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when firefighting was an essential and highly respected service. The image also highlights the architectural beauty of the Victorian era, showcasing the intricate details and craftsmanship that were once commonplace in London's buildings.
