A portrait of midcentury London and its trams
trains trolleybuses ferries and more filled with color photos from 1948-1969.
The rich variety of transport in the London area is reflected in this color album from Martin Jenkins and Charles Roberts. Using mainly previously unpublished color views from the period 1948-1969
they have assembled a remarkable array of views covering all modes of transport. The reader is taken on a fascinating journey of discovery
not knowing what will be around the next corner-encountering buses
trams
and trolleybuses; main line steam
diesel and electric; London Transport electric and steam as well as little-known industrial railways; activities on the Thames
in docks
and on canals; liners
ferries
and pleasure steamers; plus aviation and even a coal merchant's horse-drawn cart.
Captioned images in stunning color have been selected wherever possible to show changing streetscapes
buildings
and fashions
bringing the period to life. This book is a tribute to those photographers who had the foresight to record these scenes before they were swept away in the name of progress.
