Description: | These painted wooden swings are part of a large August bank holiday funfair on Hampstead Heath. The children swing high, holding the ropes tight, watched by crowds of spectators.
Far fewer people used the train to travel to the fair than did at the end of the 19th century. People came either by car or chose to use the train to go to the countryside on the outskirts of London, since it was becoming increasingly easy and cheap to travel longer distances. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 6 Aug 1928 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
