Description: | This picture was taken at Haymarket in the early years of the 20th century.
There are many cars and pedestrians and several crowded buses. The photo gives an indication of how quickly motorised transport replaced horse-drawn vehicles in some parts of London. Even at this quite early date, there is not one horse in this picture.
Many of the men in the picture are wearing straw boaters. It was usual at this time for men to wear a hat: many people did not consider themselves correctly dressed without one. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | circa 1912 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
