Fire Engines Photos

There are certain similarities with a 1924 Guy/John Morris machine supplied to Cheddleton Paper Mills which is in the Black Country Museum. - bonnet, wheels, bell mounting, dumb irons.-

WEst Ham Fire Brigade ordered a Guy/John Morris light emergency tender in 1923 registered AN 6103 and I got a photo of this appliance recently from Roy Goodey. There is a resemblance to the one above. The wheels are identical.

Looks like a Morris. Also see sign behind.

I can't see any evidence of a Hatfield pump at the rear..a large upright copper air vessel should be present..and the radiator is not in the style of Albion

Is the fact that it is parked outside a Morris Commercial dealer a possible clue? I believe that John Morris did build pumpers on Morris Commercial chassis at that time, although they were of course not related! But this is only a suggestion...

Done a bit more research on this, and yes it is a Morris Commercial fire engine. There are some good images on google of an almost identical 1926 Morris fire engine which is in preservation.
