Description: | This picture shows London Transport employee Miss Grace Cole working a stitching machine.
Miss Cole worked in the book-folding and sewing section of the Effra Road Printing Works in Brixton. The works are where all London Transport bus tickets were printed. It was also where manuals and leaflets for staff and public information were produced.
Books were printed on flat-paper presses. The pages were folded and then stitched together using machines like the one in the picture.
Grace Cole had worked at the Effra Road works for 22 years when this picture was taken in 1949. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | Mar 1949 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
