Grandfather, Joseph Corthorn, far right, outside the pumping station Victoria Embankment Nottingham 1940s

@Oldstuff2: Grandfather, Joseph Corthorn of the AFS far right in Nottingham during WW2. The picture is taken outside the pumping station on Victoria Embankment. The pumping station is no longer there but in the background can be seen the statue of Sir Robert Clifton which remains to this day. #firefighters #fireman #blitz #ww2 http://twitter.com/Oldstuff2/status/605688560902107137/photo/1 Shared via TweetCaster
