In the 1920s, the name grandually shifted, and the original F.P. style signs (left) were replaced by ones with the letter H on them (right). It wasn't until the 1940s and 1950s that the standardised fire hydrant signs we are now familiar with were finally introduced. However, a few of these earlier versions still exist.
Old fire hydrant markers on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. The valves fitted to water pipes which we now know as fire hydrants were originally known as fire points, marked by the leters F.P., when they were first intoduced in the late 1800s (which replaced the earlier fire plugs, which were literally plugs fitted into water pipes).
