EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic LCC-MFB Clerkenwell Fire Station located at 42-44 Rosebery Avenue in Farringdon, London, in the late 1890s. The original fire station was built in 1870, but underwent a substantial extension in 1896. In the image, two fire engines are visible, pulled out onto Farrington Road, ready for action. The Victorian-era building, with its red brick facade and ornate detailing, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city. The London County Council Metropolitan Fire Brigade (LCC-MFB) played a crucial role in protecting the people and properties of London during this period. The Clerkenwell station, as one of the oldest and most prominent stations in the brigade, served as a symbol of the fire service's dedication and commitment to the community. The extension of the station in 1896 allowed for more space and resources to effectively respond to emergencies. The fire engines, housed in the station, were essential tools in the brigade's arsenal, enabling quick response times and effective firefighting. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of the London Fire Brigade and the critical role that fire stations, like Clerkenwell, played in the protection of the city during the Victorian era. The image's timeless quality and attention to detail make it an invaluable addition to any collection of London history or fire service memorabilia.
