Anyone know where Mangotsfield fire station was situated??
This picture is in our family ‘archives’ and shows my Grandfather Alfred George (Alf) Couzens
as Lieutenant.
In response to the enquiry above for a period (not sure how long) the Engine was housed in a building* on the corner Mangotsfield Urban District Council’s yard in Staple Hill at the junction
of Beaufort Rd with Broad Street – no longer there during he 50s I would regularly walk past he yard and recall the actual building – not knowing then it had in the past housed the engine unit.
Does anyone have a larger version of this picture?
