TQ 47NW SP/573 Former East Greenwich II Fire Station
2.
Fire Station 1901-2. Designed by the Fire Brigade Section of the London County Council's Architect's Department under Owen Fleming and C.C. Winmill. The architect immediately responsible was probably H.F.T. Cooper. Occupies a truncated triangular site at the junction of Tunnel Avenue and Horn Lane. A building in the Arts and Crafts manner influenced by Philip Webb and the work of the Housing Section of the L.C.C Architect's Department. Red brick with some stone dressings and slated roofs. The building comprises a 5-storey block at the rear of the site with firemen's accommodation on the upper floors, and the attached single-storey engine house at the front of the site. The rear block has its end bays angled forward. On its front, between the angled end bays, are balconies with cast iron railings on the four upper floors. The top floor of this centre section has an irregular, stone-coped parapet of picturesque outline. The outer bays have at this level slated mansard roofs with a prominent bell-cast and deep, bracketed eaves. There are tall brick chimney stacks with stone caps. The ground floors of the side elevations are stone-faced. The stonework is extended forward, forming the sides of the triangle, to embrace the engine house, which has a hipped, slated mansard roof with a large dormerat the front. Windows mainly square headed casements; small panes, glazing bars.
