Description: | Mr Alfred Barnes, the Minister for Transport, is pictured talking at the opening of the Young Man's Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.) at Charing Cross (now Embankment) Underground station in 1951.
The Y.M.C.A. was celebrating 75 years' service to the community. The posters behind Mr Barnes show the Y.M.C.A. as a worldwide organisation involved in many different areas of life. It provided housing and job-finding facilities for Christian men up to the age of 35. Towards the end of the 1950s, the Y.M.C.A. started up youth clubs. In that period there were few leisure facilities for young people. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Public Services | Temporal: | 3 Feb 1951 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
