The London Transport Collection

Don't you just love this poster?

I missed the boat...I should have put it on here on Sunday!

Do you know, I could kick myself!

In 1977, I took a class of children, from the school in which I taught at Lightwater, Surrey, to Syon Park, Brentford, Middlesex. At the time, the 'London Transport Collection' was housed at Syon Park. It was a wonderful venue and a fine time was had by all.

Of course, at the end of every school trip, it's always fun to dive into a shop (if there is one) and see what's on offer.

And that's why I could kick myself.

Because , on offer were loads of fantastic posters...and I bought only one! This one below, which takes pride of place on my study wall:
