EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the London Fire Brigade Band in full regalia, assembled at their purpose-built bandstand within the grounds of the Brigade's new headquarters building in Lambeth, London, which opened in 1937. The Deputy Chief Officer, Major Frank Whitford Jackson, takes centre stage in the front row, his stern expression softened by the presence of his musical colleagues. The band, a cherished tradition within the Fire Service, played an essential role in raising morale and providing entertainment for Londoners during the challenging times of the 1930s. The bandstand was an integral part of the original design brief for the headquarters, reflecting the importance placed on the cultural and social aspects of firefighting life. The London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, as it was then known, was renowned for its dedication to the welfare of its firefighters, and the band was a testament to this commitment. The photograph, taken in the late 1930s, captures a moment of camaraderie and pride among the firemen, their instruments at the ready, as they prepare to perform. The bandstand, with its ornate design and columned pavilion, stands proudly in the background, a symbol of the resilience and community spirit that defined the London Fire Brigade during this era.
