Silver Teapot - A Wedding Gift |
 |
| The Fire
Brigade established a tradition of collecting from colleagues,
purchasing a Silver Teapot and presenting it to Firemen on their
being married while serving with the Brigade. This one was
presented to Fireman Jack Baker and is inscribed "Sub Engineer
J. Baker - Sawbridgeworth Fire Brigade - 26th Dec. 1919".

Bishop's Stortford Ex
Leyland
This photo of the Preserved
Leyland Cub AUR 551 with Wheeled Escape in
2001, with Andy Westwood driving and viewed with the
permission of the then owner,
somewhere in the West of Hertforshire. The
appliance was originally purchased new by Bishop's
Stortford Urban District Council c.1935 with the standard
Ajax 35' ladder but was converted to carry the
Escape in or around the late 1940's or very early
1950's. |
Another Leyland DJH
523
This photo (left) was taken in South Street Bishop's
Stortford in 1999. Again this is driven by Andy
Westwood with his father at his side, an ex resident
of Station Road Sawbridgeworth. The event was
apparently a procession of historic vehicles through
the town. The photo (right) is the same
appliance - location unknown. |
