Description: | The London Transport Charlton Works was a vast site used for the repair and refurbishment of buses and trams. The design of the earliest vehicles meant regular servicing was required and each one was overhauled every few years.
Some work was carried out more frequently. The site had a workshop dedicated to the repair of tram ploughs. These were fitted under the trams to pick up the current from the conduit system. Since they were being dragged along under the tram, they suffered especially heavy wear.
