Description: | The booklet was produced by the Commercial Time Table Co and let its readers know that from London the 'most popular and convenient way of visiting the Forest is by the Great Eastern railway.' The railway had reached Epping in 1865. A few years later, an Act of Parliament transferred control of the Forest to the Corporation of London. This ensured that it would be maintained as an open space for the recreation and enjoyment of Londoners.
The Edwardian period saw the rise of cycling as a leisure time activity for men and women. This tourist booklet has illustrations of landmarks, maps of suggested walks and 'cycle runs'. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | MoDA | Rights holder: | MoDA, Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (Middlesex University) | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | ca. 1900 | Source: | Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
