LCC-MFB Battersea Bridge river fire station, SW8

Built by the London County Council, Battersea Bridge river station was located by Battersea Bridge on the River Thames. It was one of four Metropolitan Fire Brigade river stations and, from 1904, the London Fire Brigade. Fireboat Gamma II was stationed there, followed by its replacement Gamma III until its closure. Although no land fire engines were stationed at Battersea, as can be seen the station maintained a wheeled escape, and a hose cart was also kept. It remained open until 1937
