Notes
Twickenham Fire Station was constructed and opened by the Middlesex Fire Brigade in 1957.
The station was built to replace the existing MFB Station located on Queens Road that subsequently closed. However, this building still exists today in use as a private residence.
Following the creation of the Greater London Council, ownership of the station passed to the London Fire Brigade in 1965.
It was realised in the early 1980s that the station was woefully undersized for modern requirements, so it was extended and modernised, opening in 1989.
