Any plans to make copies of the poster available to buy? They'd look great framed up.1

yes @DaveMehmet but it will be difficult to scan as it is so delicateDaveMehmet said:Any plans to make copies of the poster available to buy? They'd look great framed up.2 -
Great work as always by the Museum.
The poster is a thing of joy, but it's the programme that catches my eye ... especially the presence of the Rev. KRG Hunt in the Oxford City midfield.
Wikipedia tells me that he picked up an FA Cup Winners medal with Wolves in 1908 and represented Great Britain in the 1908 and 1920 Olympics.
As a teacher at Highgate school, he had Murray Walker among his students.
He could probably also do the 100 yards in 8 seconds, swim the Channel before breakfast and may have been responsible for our WW1 victory in 1918.10 -
Any surprises in our line-up?0

We’re numbered 1-11 but Oxford aren’t. Was this unusual?0

They are numbered 12 to 22 so maybe it’s just a numerical continuation?AddicksAddict said:We’re numbered 1-11 but Oxford aren’t. Was this unusual?0 -
There are people on here that will have more knowledge than me but couldn't you (someone) take a photo with a high MegaPixel camera ? A34MP camera should do it but there are cameras with high 40s MP which will give a large print with brilliant detail.Henry Irving said:

Superb!
I'll say it again - it's so good that the museum has funds ready to step in and buy "items like these" when they become available
All the more reason to buy Christmas presents from the museum to add to such money.4 -
Even in those days, the pricing structure seemed a bit odd. It appears that adults could get in for 8d, which seems reasonable. But boys had to find 4d and a copy of Jacko's 2019 Wembley shirt. I bet that affected the attendance.4

Buses 53 and 53a I understand, although I’m not sure I ever saw a 53a, but are LCC cars 38 and 40 trams?0

In the early 1950s tram 38 ran down the Woolwich Road from central London to Abbey Wood and numbers used to be pretty much fixed so I'd assume they must have been.AddicksAddict said:Buses 53 and 53a I understand, although I’m not sure I ever saw a 53a, but are LCC cars 38 and 40 trams?0 -
Until the early Fifties, the 53 ran at the bottom of the hill and the 53a ran at the top.AddicksAddict said:Buses 53 and 53a I understand, although I’m not sure I ever saw a 53a, but are LCC cars 38 and 40 trams?
That poster is an amazing find.0 -
Today I learned that there are websites every bit as obsessed with buses as normal, decent Charlton fans are with train routes.InspectorSands said:
