What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: The Old Fire Station. Paid for by W.F. Morgan, opened in 1906 and used until 1966, by which time the appliances were too big to be housed here. A horse drawn pump had been in use until 1922. Later the home of the St. John Ambulance Recorded plaque organisation: Warminster Civic Trust & Town Council.
The Old Fire Station in Warminster, operational from 1906 to 1966, marks a significant phase in local firefighting history, transitioning from horse-drawn pumps to modern appliances too large for the original facility. After its use as a fire station ceased, it served as a base for St. John Ambulance, continuing its role in community emergency services.
