Description: | This picture from 1951 shows two London Underground catering staff in overalls working in the canteen kitchen at Sloane Square station. On the shelves, beside crockery and cooking utensils, are labelled tins of ingredients including icing sugar and baking powder.
The woman on the left is dishing chips onto a plate while her colleague cuts corned beef. Corned beef was eaten a lot at that time since fresh meat was still rationed after the end of the Second World War. Meat rationing did not end until 1954. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 7 Apr 1951 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
