Description: | Before the First World War, a woman would not have been considered for a job as a painter, but during the war 16,000 Underground group employees joined the armed forces. From 1915, women were hired as conductors, clerks and maintenance staff to replace them.
Employers took an interest in the staff's social lives, providing recreation facilities for concerts, dancing and meetings. Athletic clubs were also started during the war. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | London at War Work | Temporal: | 1915- 1918 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
