Comment on Lee Green Fire Station by Fred Barton

Greetings from New Zealand! My dad, Charles Barton, was stationed here throughout WW2. I also recall, in probably 1945 or 46, standing just about opposite the station watching the trams as they changed from an underground power supply to an overhead supply as they travelled to Eltham (and then the reverse on the way back to Lewisham).
Best wishes, Fred

Comment on Heston Fire Station by LSPhotography

In reply to Mr Brian R Kidd. Thank you for your comment. Whilst I agree with the historical naming of the station, the London Fire Brigade refer to this station as Heston, and that is the reason I have named the article as such.

Comment on London Fire Brigade Sidcup Fire Station by Peter Bird

Can you confirm that in the 1980s Sidcup Fire Station caught fire. I was driving past the Fire Station late one evening and saw a lot of smoke coming out from under the eves and upper windows but no flames and there appeared to be no Engines in the Garage area, I carried on to the Police station just along the road and reported what I saw, but to this day I still don’t know if it was on fire.

My grandfather Robert Cook was in charge of this station in the late 50’s up to his retirement in the early 60’s after which he and my grandmother moved to 2 Castleleigh Court, Enfield Town. I have no memory of the fire station (I was born 1958 in Enfield) but have been told that my mother used to take me there in a pram to visit granddad. I do remember that bedtime stories from granddad were often tales of his time fighting fires in WW2 in the Mill Hill area (he took a firefighting job there around 1930 after leaving his factory firefighter job at the Lever Brothers works at Port Sunlight in the Wirral which he took up after WW1)

Hello, we are local Nursery five minutes walk from you near Regents Canal
The children that we take care of are from the local area
This is a bit of a cheeky question, but would it be possible to pay you a visit? Let the children see the buses up close we would just bring a small group
As the children’s main interest right now, our buses and some have never had the opportunity to be on a bus
Sending you a big thank you
