EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic LCC-MFB Hackney Fire Station, located at 2-2A Bodney Road in East London, in the late 1800s. Built by the Metropolitan Board of Works (MBW), the forerunner of the London County Council, for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) in the 1870s, this fire station served the community of Hackney for several decades. The Victorian-era building, with its red brick facade and large, ornate windows, exudes a sense of authority and reliability. The MFB, which preceded the London Fire Brigade, was established in 1865 to provide a more effective response to fires in the rapidly growing city of London. This station in Hackney was one of many built by the MBW to house the firefighting equipment and personnel necessary to protect the local population. Sadly, this historic fire station was closed in 1914 and demolished to make way for a new fire station, which in turn was closed in 1920 and not replaced. Today, the site where this once proud building stood is a reminder of the rich history of firefighting in London and the important role that the MFB and later the London Fire Brigade have played in protecting the city and its people. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of firefighting services in London during the late 1800s.
