Description: | This poster, Send them by Metro, advertises the Express Parcel Delivery Service operated by the Metropolitan Railway.
It depicts a delivery van driving over a hill with views of the City and Harrow-on-the-Hill in the background.
The Metropolitan Railway started its own parcel delivery service in the 1890s. At its height in the 1920s, it was handling some 850,000 parcels per year. By the 1930s, when the Met became part of London Transport, the service had to be withdrawn. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Art and Design | Temporal: | 1929 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
