EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Red Cross Street fire station in the heart of the City of London. Built by the London County Council (LCC) and opened in 1900, this fire station was one of five in the City of London, including a river station at Blackfriars. The red cross emblem prominently displayed on the building is a testament to the long-standing partnership between the London Fire Brigade (LFB) and the British Red Cross, which began in the late 19th century. The fire station, located on Red Cross Street, was a vital part of the city's firefighting services for over six decades. Its distinctive red brick facade and tall chimney stack were iconic features of the City of London's skyline. However, with the advancement of technology and changing firefighting needs, the station was closed in 1964 and replaced by the modern Barbican fire station. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the historic architecture of the fire station and the fire engines parked outside, ready for action. The image also captures the atmosphere of the 1960s, with the firemen in their traditional uniforms and the classic cars passing by on the street. The LCC-LFB Red Cross Street fire station is an important part of London's firefighting history, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the crucial role that fire stations play in protecting our communities. The building may no longer be in use, but its legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of firefighters to continue the vital work of keeping London safe.
