Description: | The impressive building on the right is the Royal Courts of Justice, the Law Courts. The spire on the left belongs to St Clement Danes. The church was gutted by bombs during the Second World War but completely renovated in 1955.
This photo was taken in 1952 where the Strand turns into Fleet Street, and Westminster meets the City. The bus in the foreground is an R.T.L.-type. These were built by Leyland for London Transport between 1946 and 1947 and the chassis was based on the Leyland Titan P.D.2/1. They came into widespread use in 1948 and lasted until 1968, when the last passenger service R.T.L.s were withdrawn. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | Jun 1952 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
