Transport

years ago you always had your Sunday best on and you were taken out for a walk Sunday night People never used to ride anywhere years ago. [But] when I worked in the City, used to get a bus over the bridge.

[And there were] trams in Waterloo Road and in York Road In the other room Ive got a little box and its got the last tram tickets in it. Ill show you, but you cant have em.

In the late 60s, early 70s, youd bump into miners, and they were mining, and it was at the end there. They said, Oh this is for a tube station. Do you remember? That was the early 70s. It was the late 60s, and they were building exploratory tunnels then, so [now] suddenly it looks like they just decide to build [Southwark] tube station, we know that 40 years agothey had a tunnel - they were all Welsh miners, and they would walk down here to dig these tunnels. The bloke was saying you can walk as far as Waterloo Station if you want to mate, which now we know is the Jubilee Line. So nothing spontaneous, it was all done all those years ago.

By the Hop Exchange, at the end of Southwark, trams used to go over Southwark Bridge, down the hill and stop there, then come backAnd then it used to go round here to Lambeth, old trams, they used to rattle along, didnt they? They used to be two stories but they were big.
