LCC-LFB Northcote fire station, Battersea, SW London
Built by the London County Council, Northcote fire station was located at 59-61 Chatham Road, SW8. The widespread adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB led to a reduction in the number of fire stations required. A report produced in 1920 recommended the closure of 15, and Northcote was one of them

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Northcote Fire Station in Battersea, South West London, as it stood in the early 1910s. Located at 59-61 Chatham Road, SW8, the Northcote fire station was a proud edifice of the London County Council (LCC) fire service. Built during the Edwardian era, the fire station was a vital part of the community, providing essential firefighting services to the residents of Battersea and its surrounding areas. However, with the widespread adoption of motorised fire engines by the London Fire Brigade (LFB), the need for large, centrally located fire stations began to diminish. In 1920, a report was produced by the LFB recommending the closure of 15 fire stations, including Northcote. The station's closure marked the end of an era for the local community, who had relied on the brave firefighters based there for decades. Despite its historical significance, the Northcote fire station is no longer in use today. The building now stands as a reminder of the past, a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who once called it home. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when firefighting was a more hands-on, community-focused endeavour. The image showcases the red brick facade of the fire station, with its large, arched windows and ornate detailing. Fire engines and other vehicles are parked outside, ready for action. Firemen in their distinctive uniforms can be seen milling about, preparing for the next call. The scene is one of industry and purpose, a reflection of the vital role that fire stations played in the daily life of London's communities during the early 20th century.
