Goodden in 1953 is pictured in the Corporation of London’s current salt store, which by 2022 will have been transformed into galleries at the new Museum of London in West Smithfield with the Thameslink track running through them. Image © Museum of London. Collection: The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. The Museum of London and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths (one of the major City Livery Companies) today announced that the Goldsmiths' Company is to become a Founding Partner of the new Museum of London, due to open in West Smithfield in 2022. The Goldsmiths' Company and its affiliated Charity have pledged £10 million to the Museum project. This landmark donation goes towards the Museum’s plans to create a spectacular new home for the history of London and its people in the beautiful but disused market buildings at West Smithfield. This follows the news earlier this year that the City of London Corporation and Mayor of London have together pledged £180 million. Counting the donation from the Goldsmiths’ Company and its affiliated Charity, the Museum has £60 million left to raise. A gallery bearing the Goldsmiths’ name will be at the heart of the new Museum, showcasing the Cheapside Hoard together with highlights from the Company’s world-renowned Collection of historic and contemporary silver. Judith Cobham-Lowe, Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths' Company, said: "We are thrilled to be playing our part in the new Museum of London as a Founding Partner.

  • Family History Research at London Transport Museum
    Family history research at London Transport Museum Introduction This factsheet is for family historians researching ancestors who have connections with public transport in London. Many thousands of people have been employed across the different modes of transport over the years, but unfortunately relatively few records survive because there is no business or statutory requirement to keep them beyond a few years. The guide to sources below is designed to help you identify surviving records that may be related to your research. It tells you where they are located and how you can access them. Questions at the end of this factsheet may also help you get started on your family history journey. Museum Library London Transport Museum Library, Albany House, 98 Petty France, London SW1H 9EA You may want to visit the Library as part of your research. Information about our collection and how to contact us or arrange a visit is on our Library page on the Museum website. Where to start To find relevant staff records, you first need to identify which company your ancestor might have worked for and the years when they may have been employed there. The London Passenger Transport Board (also known as London Transport) was formed in 1933. Before then, public transport in London was run by many different companies operating the buses, trams and underground railway lines. You might know your ancestor’s job from a certificate or photograph. If you know where they lived in London, you could use that as a starting point to identify their employer. Be aware though that in the past people often walked long distances to go to work.
