Chief Fire Officer from 1878 to 1937. Occupying the site of the graveyard of St Saviour's Workhouse and reputedly haunted, it is home to one of the most comprehensive collections of fire-fighting equipment and memorabilia in existence. The Fire Brigade Museum aims to chart the history of the fire brigade from the Great Fire of London in 1666 to the present, and to display objects from its history, ranging from a helmet dated circa 1720, to modern-day firefighting equipment. All visitors are required to reserve a place on one of the pre-arranged tours that start at 10:30a and 2p M-Su.

Admission: £3; £2 concs and children over seven; free, children under seven
