Description: | One of the early post - Second World War London Transport (L.T.) recruitment drives focused on the Republic of Ireland. Hundreds of recruits came to London.
This photo was taken in 1955 at the staff hostel in Windsor, where three women are relaxing in the hostel lounge. The hostel was run by the Young Women's Christian Association (Y.W.C.A.) on behalf of L.T. It was home to young women from Ireland who had come to work in London. The women would be woken early and taken by coach to begin their shifts in London. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Work | Temporal: | 7 Jul 1955 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
