EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic MFB Deptford fire station in Southeast London, as it stood proudly in the late 1890s. Built for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in 1872, this early fire station was located on the site of the present Deptford fire station at 186 Evelyn Street, SE8. The Victorian-era building, with its distinctive red brick facade and tall chimney, served as a vital hub for the fire service in the area for over three decades. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with horse-drawn fire engines and firemen in their traditional uniforms, ready to respond to emergencies. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, with the fire station's simple yet functional design reflecting the importance of community safety during the late 19th century. Sadly, the old MFB Deptford fire station was demolished in 1903, and a new station was erected in its place. This photograph serves as an important reminder of the rich history of firefighting in London and the vital role that fire stations have played in protecting communities for over a century. The image also highlights the evolution of firefighting equipment and techniques, from horse-drawn engines to modern fire trucks and advanced firefighting technologies. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of London's firefighting heritage and a testament to the bravery and dedication of the men and women who have served in the fire service over the years.
