EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the GLC-LFB Canteen Van, a vital addition to the enlarged London Fire Brigade (LFB) fleet, stationed at Lambeth Headquarters (HQ) in the 1960s. Established on April 1, 1965, the GLC-LFB was formed by the merger of various fire services in and around London. To document this significant change, a series of photos was commissioned, capturing each type of fire engine, including this mobile canteen van from Lambeth Fire Station (B22). The Canteen Van was a unique vehicle in the LFB's inventory, serving as a kitchen and canteen on the move. Its presence ensured that firefighters could be refueled and reenergized during long hours on the job. In this image, the van's open hatch and side door invite us to imagine the warm, inviting atmosphere within. The back of the van is adorned with the bold London Fire Brigade insignia, further emphasizing its importance as a part of the growing organization. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the diverse range of vehicles that made up the GLC-LFB fleet during its early years. The Canteen Van, with its essential role in providing catering services, was a testament to the thoughtful planning and comprehensive approach taken by the LFB to ensure the wellbeing and effectiveness of its firefighting teams.
