The Fire Station
A Memory of Byfleet.
I joined the retained Fire Brigade, National Fire Service at this Station in 1946 aged 16. The old building is still standing but in need of some TLC, the old hose drying tower can still be seen in this picture, but has now been demolished. The WWII Air Raid Siren was mounted on top of the tower. The shop "Candy Corner" was then owned By Mr Nelson Rand a blind man, The Garage on the left was owned by Duncan Hamilton, who along with Tony Rolt won the Le Mans 24hr race in a Jaguar Car.
