EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Dockhead Fire Station in Bermondsey, South East London, as it stood proudly in the 1930s. Built in 1928, this iconic fire station served as a vital hub for the London Fire Brigade (LFB) and was the location for the early seasons of the groundbreaking ITV series "London's Burning." The show, which ran from 1986 to 1993, brought the world of firefighting into the living rooms of millions and showcased the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who worked tirelessly to protect the city. The imposing red brick building, with its distinctive art deco features, has been a landmark in the Bermondsey community for nearly a century. However, despite its historical significance and continued use by the LFB, there are currently plans to demolish the station and replace it with a new facility. This decision has sparked controversy and sadness among local residents and firefighting enthusiasts, who fear the loss of a cherished piece of London's firefighting history. As we look at this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time to an era when the fire station was a bustling hive of activity, with fire engines roaring to life and firefighters rushing to answer the call of duty. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that fire stations play in our communities and the sacrifices that firefighters make every day to keep us safe. The LCC-LFB Dockhead Fire Station in Bermondsey may soon be a thing of the past, but its legacy will live on through the memories of those who worked there and the enduring impact of "London's Burning" on popular culture.
