"Fabric hoses left coiled on the walls ready to be used. These remarkable pictures show a fire station which was left untouched for more than 60 years before it was discovered in the cellar of an old Co Op factory. See NTI story NTIFIRE. The secret fire station is complete with 1920s firefighting equipment, pumps, uniforms and coiled hoses. A half-drunk bottle of lemonade and exercise programmes were also found in the cellar of the former Co Op factory in Dudley, West Mids. Staff at shopfitting company The Allan Nuttall Partnership, which is now based in the building, heard rumours of a hidden fire station but dismissed it as an ""urban myth"". But when marketing manager Anna Bramford dug out some keys she was astonished to find fire regalia and pumps dating back to the 1920s."
