Description: | This is a busy street scene at Shepherd's Bush on Whit Monday afternoon, looking west towards the junction of Shepherd's Bush Green and Uxbridge Road. Large groups of pedestrians dressed in holiday finery spill out onto the road.
In the foreground is a 'garden seat' horse bus filled with passengers. People also crowd onto a London United Tramways (L.U.T.) type W (later U) open-top electric tram that is standing in front of Lloyds Tailors shop. More congregate around type Z and type W trams in the background.
This photo shows the crossover between the old and new forms of transport. Buses carried a larger load in London than in other cities. Trams were not allowed in the City of London or the West End.
The News of the World newspaper advertised was a mass-market Sunday newspaper. It cost 1d in 1903. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 1 Jun 1903 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
