Last Bus on Route 262, London, England. Date - 1953
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London during the 1950s. The image captures the last bus of Route 262 making its way through the crowded city streets, its headlights cutting through the gathering dusk as the sun sets behind it. The bus, adorned with the familiar red and cream livery of London Transport, is filled to capacity with passengers, each one seemingly deep in thought or lost in conversation. The sidewalks are lined with people and shops, the windows of which are illuminated by the warm glow of the setting sun. The scene is one of quiet resignation, as the end of the day signals the end of the bus route and the beginning of the night. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when public transportation played a vital role in the daily lives of Londoners, and when the sunset marked the end of another day in the city. This image, taken in 1953, is a precious document of London's rich history and a testament to the enduring charm of the city's past.
