Description: | This horse bus was operation from the late 19th century until 1911. It was operated by the London General Omnibus Company (L.G.O.C.) and served the route between Waterloo and Baker Street.
During the 1920s it was used as a riverside home on the banks of the Thames at a rent of 10 shillings (50p) a week. In 1929 it was bought and restored by L.G.O.C. to take part in their centenary parade.
The slatted wooden seats on the upper deck seat two passengers either side of a narrow gangway: they were known as 'garden seat' horse buses. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1881 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Manufacturer : London General Omnibus Company | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
