  • History of the East London Line
    HISTORY OF THE EAST LONDON LINE – FROM BRUNEL’S THAMES TUNNEL TO THE LONDON OVERGROUND by Oliver Green A report of the LURS meeting at All Souls Club House on 11 October 2011 Oliver worked at the London Transport Museum for many years and was one of the team who set up the Covent Garden museum in 1980. He left in 1989 to continue his museum career in Colchester, Poole and Buckinghamshire before returning to LTM in 2001 to work on its recent major refurbishment and redisplay in the role of Head Curator. He retired from this post in 2009 but has been granted an honorary Research Fellowship and continues to assist the museum in various projects. He is currently working with LTM colleagues on a new history of the Underground which will be published by Penguin in October 2012 as part of LU’s 150th anniversary celebrations for the opening of the Met [Bishops Road to Farringdon Street 10 January 1863.] The early 1800s saw various schemes to tunnel under the River Thames, including one begun in 1807 by Richard Trevithick which was abandoned two years later when the workings were flooded. This was started at Rotherhithe, close to the site later chosen by Marc Isambard Brunel for his Thames Tunnel. In 1818, inspired by the boring technique of shipworms he had studied while working at Chatham Dockyard, Brunel patented a revolutionary method of digging through soft ground using a rectangular shield. His giant iron shield was divided into 12 independently moveable protective frames, each large enough for a miner to work in.

  • The Operator's Story Appendix
    Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Appendix: London’s Story © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET The Operator’s Story: Notes from London Case Study Interviews February 2017 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide a permanent record for the researchers of what was said by people interviewed for ‘The Operator’s Story’ in London. These notes are based upon 14 meetings between 6th-9th October 2015, plus one further meeting in January 2016. This document will ultimately form an appendix to the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’ piece Although the findings have been arranged and structured by Imperial College London, they remain a collation of thoughts and statements from interviewees, and continue to be the opinions of those interviewed, rather than of Imperial College London. Prefacing the notes is a summary of Imperial College’s key findings based on comments made, which will be drawn out further in the final report for ‘The Operator’s Story’. Method This content is a collation in note form of views expressed in the interviews that were conducted for this study. Comments are not attributed to specific individuals, as agreed with the interviewees and TfL. However, in some cases it is noted that a comment was made by an individual external not employed by TfL (‘external commentator’), where it is appropriate to draw a distinction between views expressed by TfL themselves and those expressed about their organisation.

  • Essex Fire Museum
    Information File No1. ESSEX FIRE MUSEUM . The Fire Service in Wartime Essex. Before 1937 there were more than 60 Fire Brigades in the County of Essex. The standard of these brigades varied widely, from the professional ‘Metropolitan’ brigades such as Walthamstow, Ilford, Leytonstone, Barking and Dagenham and the large towns such as Colchester, down to the tiny rural brigades of villages like Finchingfield, Mersea Island and Thaxted. The Air Raid Precautions Act of 1937 required all local authorities from Parishes to County Councils to make provision for properly organised Fire Brigades for their areas and for the formation of a Government sponsored Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) attached to the local authority brigades. New or more modern fire appliances were purchased by many of the smaller brigades and recruiting for the AFS began in 1938. Equipment for the AFS was provided by the Government, this included uniforms, pumps, ladders, hoses and branches. What was not included was the provision for vehicles to tow the many trailer pumps issued and this resulted in many fire brigades acquiring an amazing variety of cars and lorries for conversion into towing vehicles and fire appliances. Rayleigh’s Auxiliary Fire Service in 1939 Initial training for the auxiliaries varied greatly from brigade to brigade until a training manual was produced in 1939 by the Home Office with the intention of standardising training. Women were recruited to operate the fire control rooms, to be administrative staff, station cooks and also to drive both cars and supply lorries. They were often in the thick of the action. The so called ‘Phoney War’ period from autumn 1939 into the early part of 1940 did not leave the fire fighters of Essex with nothing to do.
