Southwark Fire Station

Restoration of the 'FIRE' lamp for this grade 2 listed building (or buildings!). Built in the 1870's it has a fascinating history SOUTHWARK FIRE STATION, Non Civil Parish - 1385916 | Historic England, and established the prototype for London Fire stations in the 1880s. It was the first headquarters for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the home of the first Chief Officer, Captain Sir Eyre Massey Shaw. The buildings are currently being redeveloped as flats.
