EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the Regional HQ band of the London Fire Brigade (LFB) proudly displaying their instruments at the purpose-built bandstand within the historic Lambeth headquarters building. The opening of the new LFB headquarters in Lambeth in 1937 marked a significant milestone in the London Fire Brigade's history. The incorporation of a bandstand in the original design brief was a testament to the importance of music and camaraderie within the firefighting community. The image showcases a diverse range of firefighters and officers, each holding their respective brass and woodwind instruments. The band includes drummers with their leopardskin-covered drums, a percussionist with a double bass drum set, and musicians playing the saxophone, trombone, clarinet, oboe, and other stringed instruments. The firefighters' uniforms, with their gleaming brass buttons and badges, add to the overall sense of pride and tradition. The bandstand, situated in the background, is a reminder of the rich musical heritage of the London Fire Brigade. The band's presence at the headquarters not only provided entertainment for the community but also served as a morale booster for the firefighters themselves. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the camaraderie, discipline, and musical talent of the London Fire Brigade's Regional HQ band during the thirties. The image is a testament to the importance of music and community within the firefighting service, a tradition that continues to this day.
