EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the completed Rear Block building of the Lambeth Headquarters of the London Fire Brigade in the late 1930s. The Rear Block, designed in the modernist architectural style of the time, stands proudly behind the historic Front Block, which was built in the late 19th century. The Rear Block was constructed to house the latest firefighting equipment and appliances, ensuring the brigade was well-equipped to face the challenges of the 20th century. The photograph shows a series of bay doors, each large enough to accommodate a fire engine, neatly aligned in a row. The bays are surrounded by tall, rectangular windows, allowing ample natural light to enter the building. The clean lines and geometric shapes of the building's design are a testament to the modernist movement that was popular during the 1930s. The London Fire Brigade's Lambeth Headquarters was a significant firefighting hub, serving the south of London and its surrounding areas. The completion of the Rear Block building marked a new era in firefighting capabilities, allowing the brigade to respond more efficiently and effectively to emergencies. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of firefighting infrastructure in London during the 1930s. The Rear Block building, with its sleek design and functional features, stands as a symbol of progress and innovation in firefighting.
