In this album, Mick Webber gathers some beautifully evocative
photographs showing buses, trams and trolleybuses of London
Transport at work during the period from 1933, when the
organisation was formed, until 1969. In doing so he shows changes
not only to transport in the capital but to London itself. Whilst
primarily a black and white album, there is also a 1950s colour
section. Much of the period covered by this book is looked back
with nostalgia as a golden age for transport interest, but the
times were often far from golden to live in. As the 1930s
progressed the threat of war increased, only to become reality at
the end of that period. With Britain at war in the first half of
the 1940s and struggling to recover in the second half, that decade
was difficult to live through for most Londoners. Poverty and
slum-dwelling was widespread and it was only in the 1960s that the
country fully recovered from the damage suffered by war. This was a
period of mass rebuilding - often in a style not appreciated today
- and parts of London were to change their appearance dramatically
from then on. Many of the places shown in this album are still very
recognisable today but others have changed completely.
