Established in 1874, Whitechapel was not only a working fire station but also served as the district headquarters, known as Station No 27. The station was equipped with a pump, one pump-escape, and a turntable ladder. In the foreground, two senior officers of the London Fire Brigade (LFB), dressed in their plain uniforms, stand proudly between the first two fire engines.

The fire station, a significant building in the history of firefighting in London, is depicted in the background.

The fire engines, with their gleaming metal bodies and intricate details, are a testament to the technological advancements of the time.
