Description: | After finishing her education in Northern Ireland, Mary Williams went to work in America for several years. She returned to her family's farm in the early 1950s when her younger sister became seriously ill.
While she was at home in Derry, she saw an advert placed in a local paper by London Transport (L.T.). As part of its post-Second World War recruitment drive, L.T. recruited people from areas in the U.K. outside London that had higher levels of unemployment.
Mary applied for a job as a conductor (she uses the popular term 'clippie'). She had to go to Belfast to take a medical and various aptitude tests. This is what she recalls. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Work | Temporal: | 1950-1959 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
