EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of the Willesden Local Board Fire Brigade, an essential firefighting service in London during the late 1800s. The image, believed to have been taken in the 1890s, showcases a turnout of brave firefighters, proudly posing with their horse-drawn vehicles and equipment. The firemen, dressed in their old-fashioned uniforms, don their helmets, each one adorned with a distinctive insignia. Their horse-drawn carts, equipped with pumps and ladders, are ready for action. The horses, strong and steadfast, stand patiently, their harnesses gleaming in the sunlight. The fire brigade's turnout was a sight to behold, a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the firefighters of the time. The horses, an integral part of the team, were essential for transporting the heavy equipment to the scene of the fire. Their power and strength enabled the firefighters to tackle blazes that would have otherwise been difficult to reach. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into the past, providing a window into the world of firefighting during the Victorian era. The image is not only a reminder of the bravery and commitment of the firefighters but also a tribute to the horses that played a crucial role in their work. The horse-drawn vehicles, with their intricate designs and functional elegance, are a far cry from the modern fire appliances we know today. This photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in London's history, firefighting, or the Victorian era.
