An exhibition of some of the iconic posters commissioned by London Transport in the 1920s and 1930s to encourage people to use public transport for leisure and work.
During this period between the two World Wars St Albans emerged as a popular destination for day-trippers. The exhibition will include posters advertising the number 84 bus, which serves the city to this day. With the historic Cathedral, the medieval Clock Tower, the first excavations of the Roman town of Verulamium and the newly landscaped lake in the park, 1930s St Albans provided a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of London life.
