Description: | Steve Hinds worked as a circuit installer for London Underground (L.U.). Circuit installers were responsible for the electrical work on the stations such as repairing or wiring new equipment. In this photo, Steve is adjusting a camera in an Underground station.
Closed-circuit television (C.C.T.V.) cameras were introduced to enable L.U. staff and the police to check passenger security and safety on the platforms. L.U. was one of the first organisations to use C.C.T.V. in London.
The exact date is not known, but the style of Hind's clothes and hair suggest this picture was taken in the late 1970s or early 1980s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 1982 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
