Description: | Beryl Keen enjoyed performing. She trained as a dancer with the London Transport (L.T.) Players and performed in many musicals. She also recalls being filmed for television.
In the late 1950s, the BBC made a programme called Omnibus on the history of London buses. It was filmed at the London Transport works in Chiswick, where there was an open area known as 'the skid patch' used for testing buses.
The programme makers put up bus stop signs for filming. Beryl and others from the L.T. Players were dressed in old fashioned clothes and filmed riding on the old horse-drawn buses.
Beryl remembers this was exciting to be involved in. But she never saw the programme because it was broadcast live in the days before video recorders. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1950-1959 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
