The LT Area 5: Inner North London

In his 5th selection of London bus photographs in our LT Area series, Jim revisits his original home area, Inner North London where he was born and lived for his first 29 years. Once again, his pictures show a wide range of different routes and vehicle types, largely concentrating on those in service in the 1960s and 1970s but also showing some more recent scenes. As usual, most of the pictures have never been published before, and often show seldom-photographed locations and unusual route workings. Going back over the best part of sixty years, they also vividly show how London has changed in that time, illustrating other forms of road transport, buildings, people's fashions and indeed many of the people themselves that are no longer with us in the third decade of the 21st Century. In this and the following volume on Outer North London (where Jim has lived since 1976), he also adds flavour to the narrative accompanying the pictures, thanks to his detailed knowledge of his home area.
