The New Birmingham Fire Station

A Microphone Impression including a recording of part of the Opening Speech by H.R.H. The Duke of Kent, K.G.
Relayed from The Central Fire Station, Birmingham

This new fire station, opened earlier today by H.R.H. the Duke of Kent, is an imposing building occupying an island site. It provides housing accommodation for the officers and men of the brigade, and its clock tower is a landmark at the north end of Corporation Street. The building contract was for Â£147,000. In addition to part of the Duke of Kent's speech that is being recorded, listeners will hear an impression of fire-fighting methods old and new, and some reminiscences of an old fireman, E.M. Wells, who joined the brigade in 1888 and will tell of the exciting days of horse-drawn machines, when hoofs clattered and sparks flew up in the air and firemen cleared the way with loud, continuous shouts as horses galloped through the streets in the direction of the fire.
