1. Title: "LCC-LFB Tooting Fire Station, SW London: A Piece of Edwardian Firefighting History This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the LCC-LFB Tooting Fire Station, located at 91 Trinity Road, SW17, London, in its early days. Built by the London County Council (LCC) in the early 1910s, this historic fire station in Tooting, South West London, remains operational today as part of the London Fire Brigade (LFB). The Edwardian-era building, with its red brick facade and distinctive arched windows, exudes a sense of solidity and purpose. The fire station, a vital part of the community, stands proudly on the street corner, ready to respond to emergencies. Fire engines and other equipment are visible through the large garage doors, while firefighters can be seen moving around the station, preparing for their next call. The London County Council, established in 1889, played a significant role in the development of London's fire services. The council took over the management of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade in 1899, renaming it the London Fire Brigade. The new LCC-LFB focused on improving firefighting capabilities and expanding the number of fire stations across the city. Tooting Fire Station, with its rich history and continued service to the community, is a testament to the LCC-LFB's commitment to providing essential firefighting services to Londoners. The building, now over a century old, continues to stand as a symbol of resilience and dedication, protecting the people of Tooting and the surrounding areas from fire hazards. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the important role that fire stations, like Tooting, play in the lives of Londoners. The image serves as a reminder of the bravery and commitment of the firefighters who have served and continue to serve their communities, ensuring the safety and well-being of all Londoners.
