EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of the LCC-LFB Pageants Wharf fire station in Rotherhithe, London, which was built by the London County Council and opened in 1903. The Edwardian-era fire station, located at 241 Rotherhithe Street, SE16, stands proudly with its red brick façade and ornate detailing. At the turn of the 20th century, the Surrey Docks system was a bustling hub of maritime activity, and the fire station played a crucial role in protecting the area's industries and residents. The swing bridges at either end of Rotherhithe Street provided access to the docks, but they were eventually removed in the 1960s, marking the decline of the Surrey Docks system. As a result, the Pageants Wharf fire station was closed in 1968. Despite the passage of time and the changes in the surrounding area, the fire station remains a significant piece of London's firefighting history. Its red brick walls and intricate architectural details tell the story of a bygone era, when the fire service played a vital role in the daily life of the community. Today, the station serves as a reminder of the rich history of the London Fire Brigade and the important role it has played in protecting the city for over a century."
