Recollections of Henry Webb - Life & Times 1880-1967

Henry Webb was forty-five years a busman. Starting as a horse bus conductor at the turn of the twentieth century, he rapidly rose to supervisory level within the Thomas Tilling organisation in London, undertook provincial assignments for them and was later to see its uneasy absorption into the London Passenger Transport Board. This book provides a unique insight of the bus industry of the Edwardian and inter-war years. But this account is not just about buses and their operation. The detail of working and domestic life, interaction with colleagues, etc, provides an invaluable social history of a period now largely beyond living memory.
