EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a fire that ravaged a building in Hampstead High Street, north-west London, in May 1946. The charred facade of the premises, once home to a popular Woolworths store, now stands as a testament to the destructive power of fire. London Fire Brigade firefighters are seen working diligently outside, their hoses at the ready, as they assess the damage and begin the arduous process of clearing the debris. The collapsed roof and scattered rubble on the pavement and road bear witness to the intensity of the blaze that had engulfed the building. The rafters and other structural elements that jut out from the damaged roofline add a sense of urgency to the scene, as the firefighters work to prevent any further spread of the fire. The aerial view, taken after the flames had been extinguished, offers a comprehensive perspective of the damage inflicted on this once bustling commercial area. This historical image provides a poignant reminder of the vital role that the London Fire Brigade plays in protecting the city's communities and preserving its built environment.
