AFS Photos

Here you will find some great photographs of the Auxiliary Fire Service that I am led to believe did have an appliance based at Ramsbottom. The AFS was around from the outbreak of the Second World War 1938-1968.

If you have any more photographs of the AFS at Ramsbottom then please get in touch eagle1711@hotmail.com
