Highbury Fire Station, N5: A Piece of London's Firefighting History This evocative photograph captures the grandeur of Highbury Fire Station, located at 215 Blackstock Road in the London Borough of Islington. Built by the London County Council (LCC) in 1906, this Edwardian-era fire station served the community of Highbury and its surrounding areas for several decades. The widespread adoption of motorised fire engines by the London Fire Brigade (LFB) in the early 20th century led to a significant reduction in the number of fire stations required. In 1920, a report recommended the closure of 15 stations, and unfortunately, Highbury was one of them. The facade of this magnificent building, with its red brick and stone detailing, still stands as a testament to the dedication and commitment of the firefighters who once worked within its walls. The station's large, arched windows and intricate stonework are reminiscent of a bygone era, while the fire engine bay, now empty, once housed the latest in firefighting technology. Highbury Fire Station was more than just a place of work for the brave men and women who risked their lives to protect the community. It was a symbol of safety, security, and resilience. Today, the building serves as a reminder of the rich history of London's firefighting services and the important role they continue to play in keeping our cities safe.
