Perry Vale Fire Station, SE London (1903-1972): A Piece of London's Firefighting History This evocative photograph captures Perry Vale Fire Station, a historic building located at 199 Perry Vale, SE23, in the heart of South East London. Built by the London County Council (LCC) in the early 20th century, this Edwardian-era fire station stood proudly amidst the suburban landscape, surrounded by woodlands and open space. At the turn of the century, this area was considered the outskirts of the London County Council area, offering a tranquil contrast to the bustling city centre. The serene surroundings of Perry Vale Fire Station are evident in this image, with its tree-lined streets and lush greenery. The London County Council Municipal Fire Brigade (MFB) operated from this station until its closure in 1972. With the opening of the Forest Hill fire station, Perry Vale Fire Station was no longer needed, marking the end of an era in London's firefighting history. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur of the Edwardian architectural style and the importance of community fire services during this time. The tower, a distinctive feature of the station, stands tall and proud, symbolizing the dedication and commitment of the firefighters who served the community of Perry Vale. Today, this fire station may no longer be in operation, but its legacy lives on, reminding us of the vital role that fire services play in protecting our communities and ensuring the safety of Londoners.
