Description: | The filming of an outside BBC live television broadcast at
Alexandra Palace in the rain. This was the official opening of
the road (running to the south of the Palace) which linked the
Wood Green and Hornsey gates for the first time. The road was to
be used by motorbuses which were to replace the tramcars that
previously ran up to the Palace. The official opening party, on
4th June 1938, was headed by Frank Pick, Vice Chair of the
London Passenger Transport Board, along with Councillor Cawdron
(Chairman of the Alexandra Palace Trustees) and his wife. The
Alexandra Park racecourse stand can be seen in the background. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bruce Castle Museum, Haringey | Rights holder: | Haringey Culture, Libraries & Learning | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 4.6.1938 | Source: | Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey) | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
