EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the appliance room of Cannon Street Fire Station in the City of London stands as a testament to the rich history of firefighting in the heart of London. The image, taken in the 1920s, reveals a scene where the horses that once powered the fire engines have long since departed, leaving behind their empty stalls to the left of the frame. The room is a hive of activity, with essential firefighting equipment neatly arranged and ready for action. At the top right of the image, a pump escape awaits the call to duty, its powerful engine poised to provide water to extinguish fires. A turntable ladder, positioned at the top left, offers access to high-rise buildings and hard-to-reach areas, a vital asset in the urban landscape of the city. The room's interior is adorned with a brass pole, reminiscent of the days when firefighters would slide down it to respond to emergencies. A horse cart sits to the right, a relic of a bygone era when horses were the primary means of transporting firefighting equipment. The appliance room, with its vehicles, bays, and sheds, serves as a reminder of the vital role the London Fire Brigade played in protecting the city's buildings and residents from the destructive power of fire. The image captures the essence of the brigade's dedication and the importance of the equipment that enabled them to carry out their life-saving work. This photograph, taken in 1922, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing an intriguing insight into the history of firefighting in London during the 1920s. The appliance room, with its blend of old and new equipment, stands as a symbol of the constant evolution of firefighting techniques and the unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of the city's inhabitants.
