Description: | Andrew Smith was born in Lewisham. He finished school at 16 and tried out a number of careers, including training to work in the catering industry. But he was more interested in mechanics, perhaps influenced by his father.
Both Andrew's parents had emigrated from Jamaica and, after serving in the army, Andrew's father ran a business servicing black taxis.
When Andrew's own son was born, he decided to look for a job as a mechanic. He recalls in this extract how he came to work for London Underground. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Public Services Work | Temporal: | 1980-1989 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
