EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1938, capturing the exterior of the Fire Station at Shooters Hill. The image, taken by renowned photographer John Topham, showcases a slice of history from between the wars in twentieth-century Europe. The fire station stands tall and sturdy against the backdrop of a quiet street. Its chimneys release plumes of smoke into the air, evidence of its constant readiness to combat any blaze that may arise. Parked outside are several vehicles belonging to the fire brigade, including an old-fashioned car and a coal lorry used for delivering supplies. One cannot help but be drawn to the details within this monochrome photograph. A water trough sits adjacent to the road, serving as a vital resource for firefighting efforts. The scene is devoid of people or activity; it seems as though time has momentarily frozen in this serene moment captured by Topham's lens. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of our shared history but also of those brave firefighters who risked their lives daily to protect their community. This print serves as both a testament to their dedication and an enduring reminder that heroes exist even in seemingly ordinary places like Shooters Hill Fire Station in 1938.
