EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the London Fire Brigade's (LFB) annual review in the 1950s, showcasing the timeless tradition of their horse-drawn steam fire pump. Held at the LFB headquarters in Lambeth, these events were a popular attraction for the public, offering a unique glimpse into the past of firefighting methods. The image features a team of brave firefighters in period dress, proudly standing beside their Victorian Shand Mason horse-drawn steam fire pump. The crew members, adorned with brass helmets, exude a sense of pride and dedication as they prepare for a demonstration. The steam-powered engine, with its intricate design and impressive size, is drawn by a team of strong horses. The steam fire pump, an appliance that dates back to the late 1800s, was an essential piece of equipment for the London Fire Brigade before the advent of motorized fire engines. The horse-drawn steamer was a testament to the physical strength and teamwork required of firefighters during this era. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of the rich history of the London Fire Brigade but also highlights the importance of tradition and the evolution of firefighting methods over time. The annual reviews provided an opportunity for the public to connect with the past and appreciate the dedication and hard work of the firefighters, both then and now.
