Description: | This book, 'Metro-Land', is the first edition of a series of books published by the Metropolitan Railway (Met) over a period of 17 years (1915–1932). It contains descriptions of the places served by the Met with photos and colour illustrations, a section on Country Walks, and a list of country apartments and hotels in the area.
The front cover, illustrated by George Henry Gawthorn, shows an Edwardian lady collecting wild flowers in a country meadow.
'Metro-Land' is the term coined by the Met to refer to the new suburbs that grew in northwest London as a direct result of the developing railway line. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Home and Family | Temporal: | 1915 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Publisher : Metropolitan Railway | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
