EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the essence of travel in the 1940s, as a 48-seater double-decker bus makes its way from Ramsgate to Westwood, with the final destination being Margate. The bus, manufactured by John Thornycroft & Company, is a Hall Lewis model, and its timeless design exudes a sense of nostalgia. The double-decker bus, with its distinctive red color and elegant curves, dominates the scene as it navigates the winding roads of this picturesque English countryside. The passengers, dressed in their best attire, seem to be enjoying the journey, some even peering out of the windows to take in the scenic views. The bus's exterior is adorned with various advertisements, including one for "British Railways," which adds to the overall vintage feel of the image. The road, lined with trees and greenery, appears peaceful and serene, and the occasional car passing by adds to the bustle of everyday life. The double-decker bus was a popular mode of transportation during this era, offering travelers the opportunity to take in the breathtaking views while on the move. This photograph is a testament to the simplicity and charm of travel in the 1940s, and it transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in history that continues to captivate and inspire.
