This is the chimney of the old fire station in Wanstead Place. It looks enormous, more like you would see on an industrial building. You can see the chimney pots clearly on the right but what was the rest of it for ? Is the space on the left for a lookout ? Any thoughts please let me know ?

Wanstead got this fire station in 1913 complete with horse drawn engines, in 1919 it received it's first motorised fire engine. The station was closed in 1957 doubtless after doing sterling service to the local community. It is now the home of Wanstead Children's Centre.
