EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the hustle and bustle of Deptford Fire Station in the heart of London's SE8 district, as firefighters prepare for their next call in the late 1970s. The station at 186 Evelyn Street was one of the last fire stations built for the London County Council's Metropolitan Fire Brigade, opening its doors in 1904, the same year the brigade's name changed to the London Fire Brigade. The imposing red-brick building, with its distinctive arched windows and clock tower, stands proudly on the corner of Evelyn Street and Manor Place. In the forecourt, fire engines are readied for action, their hoses coiled and polished, while firefighters don their helmets and gear. The fire station's service vehicles, including a ladder truck and a pump engine, are also visible, ready to respond to any emergency. The fire station's bell tower, which once chimed to alert the firefighters to an emergency, now stands silent, a testament to the advancements in communication technology. The 1970s were a pivotal time for the London Fire Brigade, as the city underwent significant changes, and the demands on the fire service grew. Deptford Fire Station, with its dedicated team of firefighters, played a crucial role in keeping the community safe during this period. Today, the station continues to serve the people of Deptford and the surrounding areas, standing as a symbol of the bravery and commitment of the London Fire Brigade.
