EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Bethnal Green Fire Station, located at 51 Green Street in East London, which was built by the London County Council (LCC) and opened in 1899. The imposing red brick building, a symbol of the city's firefighting heritage, served the community for over 70 years. With its distinctive arched entrance and tall chimney, the station stood proudly on the corner of Green Street and Bethnal Green Road. The London Fire Brigade (LFB) firefighters who worked at Bethnal Green Fire Station were responsible for responding to emergencies in the densely populated area of Bethnal Green and its surrounds. The station was a vital part of the local community, and its closure in 1969 marked the end of an era. The photograph captures the station in its final years, with fire engines and other equipment visible in the foreground, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The 1960s and 1960s were a time of significant change in London, and the opening of a new Bethnal Green Fire Station marked the end of an era for the old station. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the important role that fire stations played in the lives of Londoners and the vital work of the London Fire Brigade. The red brick building, with its historic charm and character, stands as a reminder of the rich firefighting history of East London.
