Description: | One of the most popular public shelters during the Blitz was Liverpool Street station. Hundreds sought cover within the disused and incomplete sections of the Central line extension, which was located at the end of several rail and bus routes.
Bill Brandt photographed this family asleep on temporary hammocks strung up along the lining of the tunnel. He has captured the atmosphere he described of 'intermingled bodies, with the hot, smelly air and continual murmur of snores'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Photograph courtesy of the Imperial War Museum, London | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 1940 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
