Do you recognise these Grantham firefighters?

by Leave a Comment

These firefighters are outside the old Kesteven Fire Brigade headquarters on Harlaxton Road in 1963. It was demolished and the new one built in its place several years later. The fire engines themselves look primitive now and were certianly low tech compared to today’s appliances. The firemen from left are, back – ?, Gordon Walmsley, Dick Joynes, ?, Eric Wright and Pete Brewin, front – Vernon Gilbard, Sub Off Hemfrey and Bert Hutchins. It was sent in by Eric Wright.

What’s going on here then?

To the best of my knowledge, this was taken in about 1990.

It is a folly built by a Billingborough doctor, whose name I can’t recall. It is on the road between Billingborough & Folkingham.

Has anyone any information on this? What happened to it?
