Warrington Fire Brigade late 1890's
Ready for action with Captain and Major Warrington's two Merryweather steam fire engines. Purchased in 1880 for £463, for some reason they had to borrow the horses from local owners, if in the event of a fire they would pay the horse owner five shillings (twenty five pence) per hour.
