LCC-MFB Poplar fire station, E14
Built by the Metropolitan Board of Works (the forerunner of the London County Council), Poplar fire station was located at 75 West India Dock Road, East London. The widespread adoption of motorised fire engines by the LFB led to a reduction in the number of fire stations required: a report produced in 1920 recommended the closure of 15, and this was one of them. It was subsequently demolished
