EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grand opening of the new Headquarters for the London Fire Brigade (LFB) on 21st July 1937. Located along the South Bank of the River Thames in Lambeth, London, the impressive building was opened by King George VI. Designed by architect Davis, Cross and Partners, the modern headquarters boasted state-of-the-art facilities to better serve the city's firefighting needs. The design, showcased in this print, features a cross-section and diagram as well as front and side elevations. The building's imposing presence is evident in the detailed architectural drawing, with its sleek, contemporary lines and symmetrical design. The London Fire Brigade had outgrown its previous headquarters, and the new building was a testament to the growing importance of fire prevention and response in the city. The location along the River Thames was strategic, providing easy access to the waterway and the many vessels that plied its waters. Firefighting was a critical service in London, with the city's dense population and numerous buildings presenting a constant risk of fire. The new headquarters allowed the LFB to respond more effectively to emergencies and train its firefighters in the latest techniques and equipment. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the design and construction of an essential public building. The opening of the new headquarters marked a significant moment in the history of the London Fire Brigade and the city it served.
