Description
This 1949 view was taken at Greewich Church, the terminus of route 70 from London Bridge, and route 68 from Waterloo.
Both ran via Surrey Docks and the lifting-bridge at Deptfort. Over 1000 of the E and E/1 trams were built for LCC from 1906 to 1921, and London Transport 'rehabilitated' 146 of them in 1935/6, fitting upholstered seats, windscreens, ets.
