EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the historic MFB Woolwich Fire Station located in Sunbury Street, SE18, London. Built by the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1879 at a cost of £4,460, this grand fire station was an essential addition to the growing city of Woolwich. The Victorian-era building, characterized by its large, round tower, was later altered in 1910 at a cost of £4,515. The fire station, which remains operational today as part of the London Fire Brigade, was a symbol of the community's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents. The forecourt of the station, filled with fire engines and hoses, is a testament to the station's readiness to respond to emergencies at a moment's notice. The MFB Woolwich Fire Station, with its rich history and architectural significance, stands as a reminder of the past while continuing to serve an important function in the present day. This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and commitment of the fire service to the people of Woolwich and London as a whole.
