Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The 'Old Tiger's Head', Lee Green This pub. remains open on the north-west angle of the crossroads, whilst its rival the 'New Tiger' just on the north-east angle of the same crossroads, closed three years ago.
Just opposite this pub, was one of the last 'change pits' on the London Tramways, where the trams changed over from conduit electrical supply to overhead trolley. As a tram approached from London, the 'plough' would shoot out from underneath on its own separate rail, the trolley boom would be raised and off would go the tram again towards Eltham or Abbey Wood. The reverse operation involved an attendant on site who would 'fork' the plough into position for the onward journey into London. All this lasted until 1952 and was one of the last places where the procedure could be seen. I only wish I had photographed it then, when I had the chance! |
