MFB (later LCC / LFB) Hampstead fire station
Built originally for the MFB in 1868, Hampstead fire station was located at 49 Heath Street. It became the responsibility of the London County Council in 1889 upon the LCCs creation, when the MFB changed its name to the London Fire Brigade. The station was one of many to close during the period 1920-1923 when, with the introduction of motorised fire appliances and the improved performance petrol engines, fire stations could cover a greater area

EDITORS COMMENTS
Immerse yourself in the rich history of London's firefighting past with this evocative image of Hampstead fire station, located at 49 Heath Street. Originally built for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) in 1868, this Edwardian-era fire station served the community of Hampstead in the north-west of London. Upon the creation of the London County Council (LCC) in 1889, the MFB changed its name to the London Fire Brigade (LFB), and Hampstead fire station became one of the LCC's responsibility. This historic building, with its distinctive red brick façade and ornate corner tower topped with a clock, stood as a symbol of protection and safety for the residents of Hampstead for many years. The photo, taken around 1905, captures the station in its prime. Firefighters could be seen hustling about, preparing for the next call. The horse-drawn fire engine, with its gleaming brass fittings, was a common sight on the streets of London during this period. However, the introduction of motorised fire appliances and improved petrol engines in the 1920s led to the closure of many fire stations, including Hampstead, as they could cover a greater area more efficiently. This photograph is a rare glimpse into London's firefighting history, offering a glimpse into the daily life of firefighters during the Edwardian era. The clock tower in the corner of the image serves as a reminder of the station's importance as a community hub and a beacon of safety in times of need. This image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Picture Library.
