EDITORS COMMENTS
Whitefriars Fire Station (B36), located at 7 Carmelite Street in the City of London, is a historic Edwardian building that once served as a vital firefighting hub for the London Fire Brigade. Built in 1896, this magnificent structure was one of the few stations in London to house two pumps, designated as Pump A and Pump B, as well as a pump escape. The station's distinctive red brick facade and ornate detailing are reminiscent of the grand architectural style of the late 19th century. In the early 1900s, Whitefriars Fire Station played a crucial role in protecting the City of London from the threat of fire. The two pumps were essential for responding to emergencies, while the pump escape allowed firefighters to evacuate the station quickly and safely in case of an emergency. The station's central location in the heart of the city made it a vital asset to the community. The photograph shows the exterior of the Whitefriars Fire Station in its prime, with fire engines parked outside, ready for action. Firefighters in their distinctive uniforms can be seen standing at attention, ready to respond to any call that came their way. The horses that once pulled the fire engines are also visible, adding to the historic charm of the scene. Sadly, Whitefriars Fire Station closed its doors in 1964, marking the end of an era in London's firefighting history. Today, the building stands as a reminder of the brave men and women who risked their lives to protect the City of London from the threat of fire. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the vital role that fire stations like Whitefriars played in the community during the Edwardian era.
