EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-LFB Islington Fire Station, located at 277 Upper Street in North London, as it stood proudly in the 1930s. Built in 1899, this fire station served the Islington community for nearly a century before closing its doors in 1994. The elegant red brick building, adorned with intricate stone detailing, exudes a sense of authority and reliability, a testament to the vital role the fire service played in the daily life of Londoners during the 30s and beyond. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when Upper Street was a bustling thoroughfare teeming with horse-drawn carriages, trams, and motorcars. The fire station, with its tall chimney stack, stands out as a beacon of safety and protection amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy road. The London County Council (LCC) Fire Brigade, later known as the London Fire Brigade (LFB), was responsible for maintaining this essential service in the heart of Islington. The fire station's proximity to the Upper Street market and the densely populated residential areas made it a vital asset for the community. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of London's fire services and the important role they continue to play in safeguarding our cities and communities. The old Islington Fire Station may no longer exist, but its legacy lives on in the brave men and women who continue to put their lives on the line to protect us all.
