EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the modern and innovative design of the new Lewisham Fire Station, which opened in Lewisham High Street in 1967. Replacing the old fire station in the same location, this new generation Divisional Headquarters was a pioneering example of architectural design for fire stations in the 1960s. The building, designed by the Greater London Council (GLC), incorporated not only the fire station but also offices and residential accommodation for the Divisional senior officers. This forward-thinking design allowed for a more efficient and effective use of resources, as well as providing comfortable living quarters for the officers on duty. The fire station's sleek, contemporary appearance is a stark contrast to the traditional red brick buildings typically associated with fire stations. The use of large windows and a minimalist color palette creates an open and inviting atmosphere, while the prominent spire of the nearby church adds a sense of history and tradition to the scene. The London Fire Brigade's commitment to modernizing its facilities is evident in this photograph, which showcases the progressive and forward-thinking approach of the organization during the 1960s. The new Lewisham Fire Station was a symbol of the brigade's dedication to providing the best possible service to the people of London, while also embracing the architectural trends of the time.
