EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1903. The image showcases a magnificent fire engine stationed at Streatham Fire Station, located on Mitcham Road in Lambeth. Standing proudly against the backdrop of historic buildings, this vintage vehicle is a testament to the bravery and dedication of our emergency services. The ladder protruding from one of the nearby buildings adds an element of intrigue and excitement to the scene. It serves as a reminder that these brave firefighters were always ready to spring into action, scaling great heights to protect lives and property. The photo captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when fire brigades were under the jurisdiction of both Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC). This historical context further enriches our understanding of this remarkable image. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome masterpiece offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century transportation and infrastructure. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate the tireless efforts made by countless individuals who have dedicated their lives to keeping our communities safe.
