EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a Shand Mason horse-drawn manual pump and its dedicated crew from Red Cross Street fire station participating in the grand 1932 Lord Mayor's Show in the City of London. The Shand Mason pump, which dates back to 1890, showcases the traditional horse-drawn firefighting appliance, with the pump being operated from both sides using extending bars. This type of engine was last used in service in 1899, making it a significant relic from the Victorian era. The crew members, dressed in their traditional uniforms, proudly display their heritage and history as they take part in the popular event. The men wear brass helmets and carry the weight of the heavy equipment with determination and pride. The horses, with their powerful muscles and regal demeanor, complete the scene of this old-fashioned display. The 1930s Lord Mayor's Show was an annual tradition in the City of London, and the inclusion of the Shand Mason pump and crew added to the historical significance of the event. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the importance of preserving the traditions and heritage of the past.
