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 this Central line extension, which was located at the end of several rail and bus routes.
Bill Brandt often photographed crowded and confined spaces of the Tube shelters. He described the atmosphere as '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 |
