Birmingham Central Fire Station
From the front, you are met with 11 Big Red Bay Doors, which allowed the engines out to an emergency, the building was built in 1934 and the architecture is to die for.
The fire station was decommissioned in December 2008 and moved down the road about 2 miles away to a brand new state-of-the-art building that can work well with current technologies.
The building still has a lot of character, even though most of the rooms are empty offices. Hidden on the top floor of the main building, is an impressive hall with a beautiful design.
Many of the floors are wood laid, creaking as you walk on them. There are underground tunnels that were used for training and as with all fire stations, a training tower.
I must say thank you to the property developer, Watkin Jones for allowing me to photograph the site and also thanks to the security guard for giving me a tour of the site.
