Description: | This bicycle belonged to Mr W F Wagstaffe, who used it throughout his life. He bought it from F W Evans of Kennington Road, London in 1929 for £13.9 (13 pounds, nine shillings) and called it Evans.
During the Second World War, Mr Wagstaffe worked as a G.P.O. telephone engineer at the Bermondsey Exchange. On many occasions he used the cycle to commute, especially during the Blitz when other transport was disrupted. He regularly used the bike for trips around where he lived in Shirley, Bromley and Croydon. In 2002, at the age of 93, he decided to hang up his cycle clips for good. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | 1928 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Manufacturer : Sturmy Archer | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
