Growing up with Buses : Early Reminiscences of an Enthusiast in London and the South East, 1950-1960

Early reminiscences of an enthusiast in London and the South East in the 1950s. What starts a bus enthusiast off on their interest? How does such a seemingly mundane subject exert such a fascination? Author Barry Turner recalls early postwar inner London as a drab place: greyness; dismal Victorian streets; bombing aftermath; shabbily dressed people; smoke filled atmosphere.
