EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at Quarriers Homes Fire Station in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, circa 1921. The fire station, with its red brick facade and distinctive chimney, stands proudly against the backdrop of the picturesque Bridge of Weir. The fire engine, with its polished surfaces and gleaming hoses, is ready for action, while uniformed firemen stand at attention, their faces serious and focused. The Quarriers Homes, established in 1878 by the successful shoemaker William Quarrier from Greenock, were dedicated to the welfare of deprived street children. Quarrier's interest in the plight of these children led him to open the first cottage home in Bridge of Weir, which would eventually grow into a network of homes and institutions across Scotland. The presence of a fire station at Quarriers Homes was a testament to the comprehensive care provided to the children in its charge. The firemen, who were likely part of the local volunteer fire brigade, were on hand to ensure the safety and security of the homes and their residents. The ladders and hoses visible in the photograph suggest that the fire station was well-equipped to handle any emergency that might arise. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication of the firemen and the commitment of Quarriers Homes to the welfare of the children in their care. The bridge over the Weir, with its tranquil waters, adds to the idyllic setting, making this a poignant and evocative image of a bygone era.
