EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Fulham Sub-Station, located at 233 North End Road in London's SW6 area. Built in the late 19th century for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade by the Metropolitan Board of Works, this Edwardian architectural gem once played a crucial role in protecting the community from fire-related emergencies. The corner building, with its distinctive curved façade, showcases classical Neoclassical design elements, featuring tall, arched windows, intricate detailing, and a decorative bell atop the roof. The image offers a glimpse into the past, with children playing on the pavement outside, seemingly oblivious to the important work happening within. Equipped with ladders and other essential firefighting tools, the firefighters of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade would have responded to emergency calls from this sub-station, ensuring the safety and well-being of the local residents. The building's grandeur and functionality are a testament to the importance of fire safety during the Edwardian era. Sadly, the Fulham Sub-Station was no longer in use by 1896, and it was eventually demolished. Today, this historic site serves as a reminder of the rich history of firefighting in London and the vital role that dedicated firefighters and their stations have played in shaping the city's landscape.
