Description: | This photograph, taken during the Second World War, shows Mrs Bullen operating a hammer driver in the smith's shop while her male colleague adjusts a metal tube underneath the power-hammer.
Acton Works was where London Transport overhauled landing craft motors and repaired and converted tanks to help the war effort.
The man is smoking a cigarette, and Mrs Bullen's shoes look more like dancing shoes than serviceable factory wear. Strict regulations regarding safety at work had not yet developed. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | London at War Work | Temporal: | 13 Aug 1942 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
