EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a London Fire Brigade (LFB) Merryweather chain-driven Hatfield pump stands proudly ready for action. This early fire engine, purchased from Merryweather of Greenwich in 1909, is an excellent example of Edwardian firefighting equipment. The distinctive Hatfield type pump, named after its inventor, Sir William Hatfield, was renowned for its efficiency and reliability. The most striking feature of this appliance is the chain drive to the rear wheel axle. This innovative design allowed the pump to be driven directly from the engine, increasing its power and enabling it to deliver water more rapidly to fire scenes. The petrol-powered engine, with its large flywheel and intricate mechanical components, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The vehicle's bodywork is adorned with the London Fire Brigade insignia, proudly displaying the organization's commitment to protecting the city's residents. The appliance's hose reel and ladder are stowed neatly on the sides, ready for deployment when needed. The firefighters of the LFB would have maneuvered this vehicle through the narrow streets of London with precision, using its powerful pump to extinguish fires and save lives. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the early days of firefighting in London. The LFB's Merryweather chain-driven Hatfield pump represents a significant milestone in the history of firefighting equipment, and its enduring design continues to inspire and influence modern fire appliances.
