Description: | This is a souvenir menu produced for a lunch at the Hotel Victoria held on 1 December 1924. The lunch celebrated the re-opening of the City & South London Railway (C&S.L.R.) from Moorgate to Clapham Common. The front cover has the Underground roundel symbol in gold and the C&S.L.R. coat of arms.
The menu details the food and wine served, and the official toasts. Illustrations show the first and last trip on the railway, and a cartoon gives a potted history of the C&S.L.R.
The line from Moorgate to Clapham Common had been forced to close in November 1923 when the Tube tunnel at Elephant & Castle collapsed. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Designer : F H Stingemore | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
