Fot 24 years the council wanted to find a plot of land to
build a new fire station.At the time the present one was on Moor Lane and
had existed there since around 1865 and before that at Castlegate.In 1933
the council decided on a plot of land on Princess Avenue.This photograph was
taken on the 27th October 1934 of the laying of the foundation stone.In the
centre is the then mayor Mr.Robert Manley.This building finally closed in
1987 as a fire station and moved just up the road.After 1987 the building
has been used my Myerscough the vets.
