Working the London Underground : From 1863 to 2013 Paperback / softback
by Ben Pedroche
Paperback / softback
Description
Used extensively and somewhat taken for granted by millions of commuters and tourists every day, the London Underground has long been a part of our national heritage and way of life.
It was the first underground railway in the world, and is now central to lives of millions of Londoners.
Here Ben Pedroche explores the realities of building the railway from the beginning, 150 years ago, exploring this dangerous, back-breaking job and how it culminated in the rail system we see today.
He works his way through the construction and working history of this iconic system, until reaching modern day, including stories from London Underground workers and their real-life experiences.
Backed up with sixty stunning archive and modern photographs, this is a book that anyone interested in the London Underground or London history cannot do without.
