Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a smaller more affordable version of the full book covering the period from the 1930's to the 1960's.This originally started as a project to collate and show all my model photographs. I then realised that other photographers I knew or followed on Flickr had some great model photographs too and before long we were starting to build up a large collection of different types of vehicles. This has grown and grown over the last couple of years until finally building a book that includes over 200 photos which not only covers most of London Transport's history of all the various types of vehicles seen but also a modelling history too. This book includes both London Transport red and green buses, Greenline coaches, London Country and independant operators during the deregulation era. Also some photos of some buses after their days in the Capital from the period of the 1930's to the 1960's.Buses have been popular in London ever since George Shillibeer started operating the Capitals first omnibus service on Saturday 4th July 1829. The service ran from Paddington o the Bank four times a day using three horses and carrying 22 people.Nowadays approximately 7500 buses carry over 6 million passengers every day over a vast network covering all of London.
Download or read book British Women s Writing 1930 to 1960 written by Sue Kennedy and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contributes to the vibrant, ongoing recuperative work on women’s writing by shedding new light on a group of authors commonly dismissed as middlebrow in their concerns and conservative in their styles and politics. The neologism ‘interfeminism’ – coined to partner Kristin Bluemel’s ‘intermodernism’ – locates this group chronologically and ideologically between two ‘waves’ of feminism, whilst also forging connections between the political and cultural monoliths that have traditionally overshadowed them. Drawing attention to the strengths of this ‘out-of-category’ writing in its own right, this volume also highlights how intersecting discourses of gender, class and society in the interwar and postwar periods pave the way for the bold reassessments of female subjectivity that characterise second and third wave feminism. The essays showcase the stylistic, cultural and political vitality of a substantial group of women authors of fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry and journalism including Vera Brittain, Storm Jameson, Nancy Mitford, Phyllis Shand Allfrey, Rumer Godden, Attia Hosain, Doris Lessing, Kamala Markandaya, Susan Ertz, Marghanita Laski, Elizabeth Bowen, Edith Pargeter, Eileen Bigland, Nancy Spain, Vera Laughton Matthews, Pamela Hansford Johnson, Dorothy Whipple, Elizabeth Taylor, Daphne du Maurier, Barbara Comyns, Shelagh Delaney, Stevie Smith and Penelope Mortimer. Additional exploration of the popular magazines Woman’s Weekly and Good Housekeeping and new material from the Vera Brittain archive add an innovative dimension to original readings of the literature of a transformative period of British social and cultural history.

Download or read book Buses and Coaches in and Around Walton On Thames and Weybridge 1891 1986 written by Laurie James and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2021-07-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Surrey towns of Walton-on-Thames and Weybridge were for many years served by the London bus network, there were also a number of small scale locally based operators running bus services, before selling out to London Transport in the 1930s. Such companies ran coaches for private hire, contracts and pleasure outings, commencing just after the First World War. This book seeks to newly record the history of these proprietors and put the activities of the London General Omnibus Company and later London Transport into local context. The story starts in the 1890s with horse drawn buses linking with the local railway stations and carries the reader through the dawn of the motor era, the rise of the charabanc, entrepreneurial opportunities in the 1920s and consolidation in the 1930s, World War Two and the gradual decline of bus services from the 1960s. It culminates in a return to a de-regulated operating environment in 1986. Capturing the story of Ben Stanley's Coaches (amongst other pioneers) by using primary source material, the book covers more than just routes and vehicles - it attempts to show how road passenger transport was influenced by local social historic and economic activity.
