Commer Cars/Simonis P and PE East Ham fire station c 1915

            the building survives. Thanks to John Meakins for identifying these appliances. Commer first began in south London around 1904 as Commercial Cars Ltd, manufacturing a variety of vehicles with a forward control aiming to implement better petrol-electric transmissions that relieved drivers of needing to master the art of the “crash gear box’. Commer would participate in the fire engine industry as early as 1910, teaming up with Henry Simonis and Co of Watford. Simonis was an established fire engineering company and provided the firefighting equipment and bodywork in tandem with Commer who produced the chassis.

F8908 was issued by Essex as East Ham was part of Essex.
HM1 -  is an East ham registration issued in 1915. In that year East ham became a county borough for the first time.
