Joseph Rank Fire service

[dochines]

This is another lovely picture from the same photograph album. The plaque on the wall indicates this is Joseph Rank Ltd Premier Mill London Fire Service I know that a David Barley, father of the owner of the album worked for the Rank flour Mill in Hull and moved to London on the Isle of Dogs in 1905 when a new mill was opened there. I think that explains how the picture got in the album. it makes me wonder whether David Barley was part of the mill fire crew
