Description: | Wood Green was a small village before the arrival of the railway in 1859. It grew into a sizeable suburb and became an urban district in 1894.
The area was finally granted its borough charter in 1933, although a charter was by that time more of an honour than a practical advantage.
As part of the local celebrations, this specially decorated tram ran during September between Wood Green and Alexandra Palace. The new borough's coat of arms is displayed on the front of the tram. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Power and Politics | Temporal: | 20 Sep 1933 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
