- The Morley fire brigade was originally set up in 1872 by the Morley Mutual Fire Service to safeguard mills from fire and used premises in Peel Street. In 1902 Morley Council took over the running of the service and new premises in Wellington Street were completed in 1906; these were used until 1940 when transferred to Wesley Street where an auxiliary fire service had been set up 2 years previously. In 1948 Morley Fire Brigade became part of the West Riding County Fire Authority, who built the new fire station, in 1964(?) |
