A symbol of resilience, it served as a lifeline during challenging times. Lewisham Military Hospital on High Street stands tall as a testament to compassion and care. Here, dedicated medical professionals have tirelessly operated to heal wounded soldiers returning from battlefields. Transportation takes center stage with the iconic ROBERTS R RADIO from the 1970s providing entertainment on long journeys. Meanwhile, Thames Steamer Timetable ensures smooth sailing along London's majestic river. The Leyland Tiger Bus operated by Liptrot Brothers in Wigan showcases how public transportation has connected communities throughout Greater Manchester, and is an emblem of unity and convenience.
