Description: | Air-raid shelterers sit on a crowded Underground station platform during the Blitz. One man reads the Evening Standard; another holds a little girl. Wartime newspapers were only four sheets long, since there was an acute paper shortage.
There was a community spirit which was found in the shelters, formed by sharing food, cups of tea and listening to each others problems. This support network enabled people to cope with the hardship and horrors of being a civilian in the front line. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | London at War | Temporal: | 25 Sep 1940 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
