Description: | This picture, taken in 1919, is towards Richmond on the south side of the River Thames. A woman conductor in summer uniform is issuing tickets on the top deck of the bus. During the First World War, women were employed as bus conductors. They were needed to replace the men who had joined the armed.
Richmond Bridge, finished in Portland stone in 1777, is the oldest bridge over the Thames in Greater London. It was widened in 1937-9 on the upstream side. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 1916-1919 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
