Description: | This picture shows four London Transport staff cleaning the outside of a train carriage in the train sheds at Neasden depot. The work is being done by hand, using brushes and cloths.
The presence of the woman in the foreground helps illustrate the change in employment trends in London after the Second World War. Before the war, manual work like this would have been carried out by men. The employment of women during the war opened up many jobs to women. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 14 Dec 1954 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
