Description: | Thousands of Londoners sought shelter in the London Underground during the Blitz. White lines were painted at specific distances from the platform edge. Only after 10.30pm, when the electricity was turned off, were people allowed to stretch past the line closest to the rails.
Bill Brandt took this photo as part of his commission to document the shelters used in the Second World War. | 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 |
