Description: | Albert Honey worked for London Underground during the 1970s.
During that time the conflict in Northern Ireland spilled into Eire and the United Kingdom. There was a struggle between those who wanted British rule and others such as the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) who wanted Irish rule.
The I.R.A. targeted London with bombing campaigns during the 1970s. This included attacks on the Houses of Parliament and on the Tower of London in 1974.
Some people in London were wary of public places such as train stations, where bombs could be hidden. But, as Albert remembers, London Transport staff were vigilant. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics Work | Temporal: | 1970-1979 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
