A congested street scene, Aldgate tram terminus
This crowded scene is Aldgate tram terminus on Whitechapel High Street on 18 April 1914.
Market traders are wheeling hand-carts filled with goods of many kinds, while a steam-powered goods vehicle belches steam into the busy street. An electric tram is heading for Ilford, and one B-type motorbus is on route to Acton Green while a policeman talks to the driver of a second.
Aldgate East Underground station is on the left.
