EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of Rotherhithe Fire Station, an iconic building that once stood proudly at Gomm Road, Lower Road in Rotherhithe, SE London. Built for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) by the London County Council in 1887, this Edwardian masterpiece served as a vital firefighting hub for over four decades. The red brick facade, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate detailing, reflects the commitment and investment made by the London County Council to ensure the safety and protection of its residents. The fire station was a symbol of progress and innovation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as firefighting technology advanced and the need for efficient emergency services grew. Sadly, with the opening of Dockhead Fire Station in Bermondsey in 1928, Rotherhithe Fire Station was closed and subsequently demolished. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the station's rich history and the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to protecting the community from fire and its devastating effects. The image transports us back to the 1900s, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of firefighting services in London. The photograph's intriguing composition, with the fire engine parked outside and the fire station's imposing entranceway, invites us to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life at the station, as firefighters prepared for the next emergency call."
