Description: | Formed in 1888, the London Carmens Trade Union (L.C.T.U.) was set up to represent the carters of the East End who travelled to and from the docks and warehouses. This ceremonial sash was commissioned by the union and presented to Henry James Ellis in recognition of his work for the L.C.T.U. It was made by Toye and Company, a long-established maker of union, Masonic and friendly societies' official regalia, based in Holborn.
L.C.T.U. meetings took place at The Ship and Star in The Minories, near Aldgate. In 1914, the union was renamed the National Union of Vehicle Workers and later, in 1922, it amalgamated with other unions to form the Transport and General Workers Union. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Transport | Temporal: | 1888-1914 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Manufacturer : Toye & Co, Holborn, London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
