- The town’s first fire station was a hut in New Town, next to the local forge, somewhere in the vicinity of the current Old Forge Filling Station. Brigade formed 1869. According to the 1874 Kelly’s Directory, the Uckfield Volunteer Fire Brigade was still operating from its fire station in New Town, but it is known that as early as 1887 there were moves to build a new station with cottages for six firefighters |
