On behalf of the Hampshire Police History Society, I have recently come into possession of a number of photographs of Fire Engines from the Portsmouth Brigade. I believe the attached photo No.1, is of a Merryweather engine, pre 1911, due to the flat bonnet. I would be very pleased to have this confirmed or otherwise identified! The photo is taken outside what is now known as Park Building in King Henry Street, Portsmouth.WHAT IS IT?
I also attach what I think is a slightly later photo No.2, of Portsmouth Fire Brigade, again with a Merryweather engine, with a rounded-style bonnet, so I believe slightly later. I cannot place where this photo was taken at the moment.…
