EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a devastating scene at the Park Royal Brewery in London. A fierce fire engulfed the buildings, including the cooperage and garage, causing extensive damage. The main building itself was also under threat from the raging flames. The photograph showcases an aerial view of the burned structures, showcasing the aftermath of this destructive blaze that took place on 5th August 1938. Three brigades - Willesden, Acton, and Ealing - valiantly fought to extinguish the fire for hours. The Guinness Brewery, completed just a few years prior in 1935, stood as one of London's largest breweries during that time. This image serves as a stark reminder of how quickly disaster can strike even in such grand establishments. Captured between two world wars, this monochrome photograph carries historical significance. It is a testament to Europeana photography and represents an era when press photography played a crucial role in documenting significant events like this brewery fire. This print from TopFoto. co. uk offers viewers a glimpse into history while reminding us of both the fragility and resilience of our built environment.
