The Fire
Brigade established a tradition of collecting from colleagues,
purchasing a Silver Teapot and presenting it to Firemen on their
being married while serving with the Brigade. This one was
presented to Fireman Jack Baker and is inscribed "Sub Engineer
J. Baker - Sawbridgeworth Fire Brigade - 26th Dec. 1919".

Those who accommodated Evacuees
during WWII received an acknowledgement for their assistance.
With
grateful thanks to Rene Heijlligers in Holland who found and
purchased the teapot in an antique market in Holland a few years
ago and kindly provided the photograph.
