Description: | This picture shows a group of trolleybus conductors enjoying a break at Fulwell depot canteen in 1947. They are all women, as are the canteen staff. It was unusual to see an all-female staff at that time, as most management positions were still taken by men.
In the right foreground of the shot is a cat. These were kept on sites by London Transport to tackle vermin. Rats and mice have always been a problem in London, but they were especially numerous after the Second World War when they were attracted in their thousands to bomb sites. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 1947 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
