EDITORS COMMENTS
A blast from the past! This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Leyland WD1 1918 open fire engine, proudly entered by Paul Engelmann from Saffron Walden, Essex into the renowned London to Brighton commercial vehicle run. Originally commissioned for the esteemed London Fire Brigade, this magnificent engine has quite a tale to tell. After years of dedicated service, it was unexpectedly discovered abandoned in a rural Norfolk farm hedge. Thankfully, its fate took an exciting turn when it fell into the hands of passionate restorers who meticulously revived its former glory. The year was May 1987 when this stunning restoration project reached completion. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the brave firemen donning their uniforms and standing tall beside their beloved machine. Their commitment to public safety and unwavering dedication is palpable through their proud expressions. This image not only captures an iconic moment but also serves as a reminder of how far emergency services have come over the decades. It transports us back to an era where these valiant men relied on such impressive vehicles to combat fires and protect communities. Thanks to Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, we can now relish in this extraordinary glimpse into our rich firefighting heritage.
