EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mechanical Merryweather turntable ladder from Croydon Fire Station (H31) at the Southern Command Headquarters fire station in Croydon, London, on an undated occasion during the 1960s. The London Fire Brigade was formed on 1 April 1965, following the amalgamation of various fire services in the Greater London area. In preparation for this significant event, a series of photographs was commissioned to document each type of fire engine that would be incorporated into the enlarged brigade. The turntable ladder in the image is a vital piece of equipment, designed to reach great heights and access hard-to-reach areas during emergencies. The Merryweather company, a leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, produced this particular vehicle. The turntable ladder's versatility and mechanical design made it an essential addition to the London Fire Brigade's fleet. The photograph shows the turntable ladder parked at the Southern Command Headquarters fire station, which served as a strategic hub for the London Fire Brigade's operations. The image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and professionalism of the firefighters who operated these vehicles and the importance of their role in protecting the people of London during the 1960s.
