EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Kennington Fire Station in Renfrew Road, Lower Kennington, South London, as it appeared in 1907. The London County Council-built station is a striking example of Edwardian architecture, with its red brick facade and ornate details. At the forefront of the image, three essential pieces of firefighting equipment are on display: a horse-drawn escape ladder, a steamer, and a hand-pulled hose cart. The ladder, with its intricate wooden rungs and metal fittings, was used to rescue people from height or to provide access to upper floors of burning buildings. The steamer, a precursor to modern fire engines, relied on heating water to create steam pressure to force water through hoses. The hand-pulled hose cart, with its long, coiled hose, was a more portable alternative to the larger engine-drawn hose reels. Standing proudly next to the equipment is the station superintendent, dressed in full firefighting uniform, ensuring the readiness of his crew and the efficient functioning of the station. Above the station entrance, an illuminated night sign reads "FIRE ENGINES," a beacon of hope and protection for the community in times of emergency. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional methods and tools of the London Fire Brigade during the early 20th century.
