Description: | Day trips have been popular with Londoners throughout the 20th century. This photographic postcard shows a London General Omnibus Company B.-type open-top bus stopping outside the entrance to Wingroves Tea Gardens at Burnham Beeches. Three men stand at the entrance to the gardens and another in uniform stands in the road, looking at the photographer.
Burnham Beeches in Buckinghamshire is well known for its ancient woodlands and pollarded beech trees. It was often promoted for its country walks by London Transport, and is still a popular destination for ramblers.
Burnham Beeches was acquired by the Corporation of London in 1880 when the site was being considered for purchase by residential developers. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - London Transport Museum Collection | Subjects: | Leisure Transport | Temporal: | circa 1910 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
