A Twopenny Tailboard Trip, May 1926
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of resilience and camaraderie amidst the chaos of the General Strike in England. In this photograph taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, we see a lorry filled with smiling commuters, predominantly female workers, embarking on their daily journey to work. The image exudes a sense of unity as these individuals come together to face the challenges brought about by the strike. Despite the hardships they may be enduring, their smiles reflect determination and optimism. The women wave cheerfully at the camera, perhaps finding solace in each other's company during this tumultuous time. This snapshot from history showcases not only the spirit of those who refused to let adversity hinder them but also provides insight into transportation methods during that era. The "twopenny tailboard trip" refers to a mode of transport where passengers would ride on lorries' tailboards for just two pennies – an affordable option for many working-class individuals. As we gaze upon this photograph from nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder that even in times of struggle and uncertainty, human connection and resilience can prevail. It is through such moments captured in time that we gain appreciation for our shared history and find inspiration for facing our own challenges today.
