EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dedication and bravery of the firefighters of the Croydon Fire Brigade at their South Norwood station, located on South Norwood High Street, in the late 1870s. The firefighters are proudly posing next to their horse-drawn manual fire engine, a testament to the traditional methods used during the Victorian era for firefighting. The fire station, which was established in 1870, was one of the many fire stations that served the growing community of Croydon, a suburb in South London. The firefighters, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are shown in a group, each one taking turns to pose for the camera. Their expressions convey a sense of camaraderie and pride in their service. The horse, which was an essential component of the fire engine, is calmly standing by, seemingly aware of the importance of the role it plays in the team. The manual fire engine, which was drawn by the horse, was the primary means of firefighting during this period. The firefighters would manually pump the engine to generate the pressure required to extinguish fires. This method of firefighting was labor-intensive and required a high level of physical fitness and teamwork. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the daily life of the firefighters of the Croydon Fire Brigade during the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the firefighters who risked their lives to protect their communities, using the technology and methods available to them at the time.
