Warwickshire / fire statiion

« on: Monday 04 February 08 19:58 GMT (UK) »

I have managed to fid out where the Aston Manor fire staton is after a lot of trawling.It was in Upper priory just off Dalton street.
I have 2 questions

1) how far is Stanhope street to (upper priory) Dalton street?

2My ggrandfather was in the fire brigade and after checking the
1891 census i found him working in a copper work as a labourer.
But on the 1901 census he was a stoker on a stationary engine.
I have photo of him on steam assisted fire engine and i am wondering if this was what was refered to on the census (RG13; Piece: 2855; Folio: 107)
I would be grateful for some feed back on these questions
On the photo i have it shows Aston manor fire brigade and they are sat in front of the 2 steam assisted fire engines
hope i have given enough information,has any one got a photo of one of the fire engines as it is mostly obscured
