LCC-MFB Sheperds Bush fire station, West London
Sheperds Bush fire station was only operational for 19 years. Located at Uxbridge Road, West London, it opened in 1901. However, the adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB led to a reduction in the number of stations required. A report produced in 1920 recommended the closure of 15 stations, including Sheperds Bush

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Sheperds Bush fire station on Uxbridge Road in West London, which operated under the London County Council's Metropolitan Fire Brigade (LCC-MFB) from 1901 to 1920. The Victorian-era fire station, with its distinctive red brick and white corner detailing, once stood as a vital pillar of the community, ready to respond to emergencies around the clock. The adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB in the early 20th century led to a significant reduction in the number of stations required. In 1920, a report was produced that recommended the closure of 15 underperforming stations, including Sheperds Bush. Despite its rich history and continued importance to the community, the station was ultimately decommissioned, marking the end of an era for this iconic building. The large, imposing structure, with its high arched windows and intricate detailing, served as a symbol of protection and resilience for the residents of Sheperds Bush. Today, the former fire station stands as a reminder of the past, a testament to the bravery and dedication of the firefighters who once called it home. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the important role that fire stations play in our communities and the ever-evolving nature of urban life.
