| This book is a fascinating insight into the bravery and dedication of local firefighters in their duty of
preserving property and life in the Croydon area. It tells the history of the Brigade from the early 1700s until its
amalgamation into the Greater London Fire Brigade.
The book is beautifully and extensively illustrated with rare, original photographs of the men, the major incidents,
the machinery, the fire stations and the Croydon area. |
