EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts the London Fire Engine Establishment (LFEE) in the mid-1800s, a pioneering organization that took over firefighting in London from the various Insurance Company fire brigades in 1833. The LFEE was a significant milestone in the history of firefighting in London, marking the beginning of a centralized and more effective firefighting service. The LFEE had a total of 19 fire stations, each manned by skilled firefighters and equipped with state-of-the-art fire engines. This photograph showcases some of those engines, which were drawn by teams of horses and were a common sight on the streets of London during this era. The LFEE's headquarters were located at Watling Street in the City of London, and the establishment was governed by strict regulations and drafts to ensure efficient and coordinated responses to fires. Some of the stations featured in this image include Ratcliffe, St. Mary; Axe Yard, Finsbury; Cheapside; Blackfriars; Holborn; Covent Garden; Oxford, Golden Square; Portman Square; Waterloo Bridge Road; Southwark; Tooley Street; Shadwell; Westminster; Lambeth; Rotherhithe; and the Floating Fire Station on the River Thames. The LFEE's establishment marked a significant shift in firefighting in London, moving away from the fragmented and inefficient system of Insurance Company brigades towards a more centralized and effective firefighting service. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the firefighting practices of the 1830s and 1840s, during the Georgian and Victorian eras.
