Description: | A man is demonstrating how to repair crepe rubber soles at a stall at the Rubber Growers Association exhibition. This exhibition was held at Charing Cross (now Embankment) Underground station in 1932.
Crepe rubber was used instead of leather for the soles of shoes because it was cheap and versatile. Crepe rubber was also used for condoms at this period before latex was introduced. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure Work | Temporal: | 10 Mar 1932 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
