Description: | This is a 'pirate' motorbus at a petrol station during the General Strike of 1926. The double-deck open-top Leyland bus was operated by a company called Pereque. It is shown here in Regents Park, and is going to Streatham. The destination board, hand-written in chalk, shows that it was not a regular bus service.
The bus stands at an Anglo-American Oil (now Esso) filling station that used the brand name Pratts. Three men stand at the Pratts petrol pump, a hose leading into the driver's cab. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Esso Petroleum Company Limited | Subjects: | Power and Politics Transport Work | Temporal: | May 1926 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
