Thanks for the shot Craig, I enjoyed my visit to the U.K. from the comfort of my Boston home, to see fire apparatus.

I visited this station several times in the 1960s and 1970s, and the lineup in those days was four pumps, an emergency tender and a turntable ladder - all of which were manned as far as I know.
Have these resources been dispersed to other stations, or has the local fire service just cut back on the level of protection?
By the way, this was also a mostly Dennis station, with older Leylands in the earlier years.

We had an AEC pump/ladder a Dennis F7 pump, the famous Dennis F12 half cab Water Tender, AEC TL, Leyland Comet Pump, Bedford ET and an ex Civil Defence Ford Thames Control Unit when I was there Rob. The station has now gone but the drill tower has been retained in the new build.

Earlier, there was an F12 PE, a prewar Leyland TL and a prewar Leyland Braidwood pump, which had been converted to an ET. The F7, the Comet and the now famous half cab F12 were also there.
