EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures the camaraderie and spirit of competition among the brave firefighters of the London County Council Fire Brigade (LCC-LFB) in the late 1890s. The image, taken in the New Cross area of Southeast London in 1899, shows the team proudly displaying their hard-earned trophy after a victorious performance in a football competition. The firemen, dressed in their formal attire, are lined up in two rows, with the team's officer, Mr. Robiliard, standing prominently on the left. The team's name or number is not visible on their uniforms, but their determination and pride are evident in their poses and expressions. The fire station where this team represented can only be imagined, but the sense of community and shared experience is palpable. Football was a popular pastime for firefighters during this era, providing an opportunity for teamwork, fitness, and camaraderie outside of their demanding work at the fire station. Competitions between various fire brigades were common, fostering friendly rivalries and promoting a sense of unity among the firefighting community. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these unsung heroes, showcasing their human side and reminding us of the importance of balance and community in even the most challenging of professions. The firemen's dedication to their work and their passion for sports like football continue to inspire us today, making this image a valuable piece of both firefighting and sports history.
