Former East Greenwich Fire Station

The Former East Greenwich Fire Station, built between 1901 and 1902, was designed by the Fire Brigade Section of the London County Council's Architect's Department, likely under the direction of H.F.T. Cooper. It is located on a truncated triangular site at the junction of Tunnel Avenue and Horn Lane. This building is designed in the Arts and Crafts style, influenced by Philip Webb and the Housing Section of the L.C.C. Architect's Department.

Constructed from red brick with some stone dressings and slated roofs, the fire station features a five-storey block at the rear, which houses firemen's accommodation on the upper floors, and an attached single-storey engine house at the front. The rear block has its end bays angled forward, and between these bays, there are balconies with cast iron railings on the four upper floors. The top floor of the central section has an irregular, stone-coped parapet with a picturesque outline. The outer bays at this level are topped with slated mansard roofs that have a prominent bell-cast and deep, bracketed eaves. Tall brick chimney stacks with stone caps rise above the structure. The ground floors of the side elevations are faced with stone, which extends forward to form the sides of the triangular site, encompassing the engine house. The engine house features a hipped, slated mansard roof with a large dormer at the front. The windows are mainly square-headed casements with small panes and glazing bars.
