EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1920s, a double-decker tram on Route 60, bound for Paddington in London, makes its way along Harrow Road. The tram's overhead wires hum with electricity, powering the trolley that propels the vehicle forward. The vintage tram, adorned with advertisements, stands as a testament to the era's transportation history. One of the most striking features of the image is the advertisement for The News of the World newspaper, which is prominently displayed on the side of the tram. The bold, black letters of the newspaper's name contrast sharply against the red and cream livery of the tram, making it a focal point for onlookers. The newspaper's tagline, "The World's Own," adds to the allure of the advertisement, inviting readers to join the global community of News of the World subscribers. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of London during the 1920s. The sidewalks are filled with people, some of whom are engrossed in conversation, while others are busy with their errands. The tram's passengers, seated on the upper and lower decks, appear to be enjoying the ride, perhaps lost in thought or simply taking in the sights and sounds of the city. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the transportation methods and advertising practices of the 1920s. The vintage tram, with its overhead wires and advertisements, stands as a reminder of a bygone era, while the newspaper advertisement invites us to explore the history of one of the most iconic publications in British history.
