Description: | An Entertainments National Service Association (E.N.S.A.) concert party entertains a crowd of Second World War Tube shelterers at Aldwych Underground station. The spectators sit in rows on the disconnected rail tracks, watching the performance on the platform above.
E.N.S.A. performers were professional entertainers who travelled all over Britain and overseas to entertain the forces and those involved in war work. It was jokingly referred to as 'Every Night Something Awful'!
Aldwych Underground station was closed between 22 Sep 1940 and 30 June 1946, the duration of the war. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Solo Syndication | Subjects: | Leisure London at War | Temporal: | 9 Oct 1940 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
