EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken on 21 April 1959, members of the London Fire Brigade's Special Services are seen attending to the aftermath of a bus crash in Cannon Street, City of London. The scene of the accident unfolds on a bustling urban street, with the distinctive architecture of the financial district looming in the background. The bus, travelling eastwards along Cannon Street, was involved in a collision with a lorry on its offside. The impact of the collision caused significant damage to both vehicles, with debris scattered across the road. The bus, with the number 13 and the route name "EC1" visible on its side, appears to have come to a halt just in front of a large, imposing building. Despite the chaos and destruction, the London Fire Brigade's Special Services team moves swiftly and efficiently to assess the situation and ensure the safety of those involved. Fire engines and other emergency vehicles can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of urgency and activity. The photograph captures the spirit of the 1950s, a decade marked by post-war reconstruction and the rise of the welfare state. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of emergency services in maintaining public safety and order, even in the face of unexpected and chaotic events. The London Fire Brigade's Special Services team is seen working tirelessly to attend to the injured and ensure that the situation is brought under control. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the emergency services personnel who risked their lives to help those in need. This photograph, taken by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and provides valuable insight into the role of emergency services in responding to accidents and maintaining public safety on the streets of London during the 1950s.
