Description: | This photo from 1911 shows a young man sitting on a tricycle designed to deliver parcels. There is a large box between the two wheels at the front. The man works for the Central London Railway (C.L.R.).
The C.L.R. was one of the many companies running trains in London at the start of the 20th century. It carried consumer goods into London from surrounding areas as well as private mail and parcels. The goods were then delivered by horse and cart or, as seen here, bike.
Delivery jobs like this were often undertaken by boys when they first joined a company. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Work | Temporal: | 1911 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
