Mr Monkey scampered down to Southwark, where he found the London Fire Brigade Museum. In the ground floor of the Southwark Fire Station, Mr Monkey found this horse-drawn steam-powered fire engine, which was used by the Metropolitian Fire Brigade before it became part of the London Fire Brigade.
You can read about the museum and the history of the Brigade at the London Fire Brigade website.
