EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of LCC-LFB Edgware Road fire station, located at 494 Edgware Road, W2, in the heart of West London. The fire station served both the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the London Fire Brigade from its opening in 1905 until its closure in 1969 with the opening of the new Paddington fire station in Harrow Road. The Edwardian-era building, adorned with intricate ornate detailing, stands proudly on the forecourt, a testament to the important role it played in the community for over six decades. The fire station's facade, with its tall arched windows and red brick exterior, exudes a sense of strength and resilience, reflecting the vital work carried out by the firefighters within. The fire station's history is deeply intertwined with the development of London's fire services. The London County Council (LCC) and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade amalgamated in 1965 to form the London Fire Brigade, and this station, like many others, continued to serve under the new organization until its closure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when fire stations were an integral part of the community, and the brave men and women who worked there were the unsung heroes, always ready to answer the call of duty and protect the people of London from the devastating effects of fire.
