Secret Fire Station Discovered Under Uk Factory

An incredible underground fire station, untouched for 60 years, has been discovered beneath a U.K. factory.

Workers at the Dudley site recently entered the fire station for the first time in decades, discovering an amazing time capsule.

The fire house is beneath a manufacturing facility owned by The Alan Nuttall Partnership, which makes interiors and displays for stores. It was notionally known about, but nobody had opened it up to take a look, Anna Bamford, Nuttalls marketing manager, told FoxNews.com.

After locating the key, staff opened the mysterious basement door and were stunned to find a fully-equipped fire station complete with dust-covered pump, hoses, and firefighters uniforms hanging on the wall. We came across all of these fascinating finds – theres a set of seven or eight uniforms they have got the original hats and jackets, still with the silver buttons, said Bamford. Theres a lot of hoses, I think theres about 10 or 12 down there, theres even an old gas mask.

Other items found include a half-drunk bottle of Pepsi and a certificate awarded to one of the firefighters in a competition against other stations. Firefighters’ names also appear to be chalked on the wall above their uniforms.
