EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1905, depicts Brompton fire station A3 (later A6) of the London Fire Brigade, located at 18 South Parade in the heart of London. The Edwardian-era fire station, built in 1892, is a striking example of the architectural beauty and functionality of the time. The red brick building, adorned with intricate detailing, stands proudly on the street, while the covered escape ladder on the station forecourt adds an air of preparedness and safety. The London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, the precursor to the London Fire Brigade, operated from this station until its closure in 1964. The arrival of the new Chelsea fire station marked the end of an era for this historic building. The fire station's service vehicles, with their distinctive design and bold colors, can be seen parked in front of the station, adding to the bustling scene. The covered escape ladder, fashioned from wood and canvas, is a testament to the innovative solutions employed during this period to ensure the safety of the community. The ladder, which would have been used to rescue people from upper-story windows during fires, is an essential piece of firefighting equipment that adds character and historical significance to this photograph. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich history of London's firefighting services and the evolution of fire stations in the city.
