EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases the LCC-MFB Shadwell fire station located at 9 Glamis Road, Wapping, East London. The fire station, which opened in 1881, is depicted with its proud firefighting crew and their Victorian-era equipment. In the foreground, two horse-drawn escape carts are hitched to horses, their purpose to transport firefighters to and from the scene of a fire. The horse-drawn steamer, an early type of fire engine, is also shown, with its long hose reel and ladder attached. A hose cart, pulled along by two firemen, is positioned nearby. The young children of the neighbourhood, ever curious and fascinated by the firefighters and their equipment, join in the scene, adding a touch of innocence and charm to the image. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the vital role that the fire brigade played in the community and the importance of horse-drawn vehicles and equipment during the Victorian era.
