Description: | Women in chefs' uniforms bake bread at open-air (or 'Aldershot') ovens made of bricks, part of an emergency kitchen at Chiswick Works. Women bus conductors look on.
When the ovens reached a certain temperature, the fire was withdrawn and the food put in. It cooked more slowly than in a conventional oven. The works provided 2,000 meals a day for staff.
The oven was made by building a semi-circular brick structure over a hole in the ground. Aldershot ovens were used as field ovens during both world wars. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Sport & General/ Alpha Press | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Temporal: | 15 Dec 1941 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
