Each week, join Chris Nix, Siddy Holloway and Laura Hilton-Brown from the Museum’s Hidden London team and host Alex Grundon as they explore the secret and mysterious spaces of London’s transport system. In series 1, the team focus on the different sites in the Hidden London tour programme, sharing historical titbits that are revealed on the tours as well as the behind the scenes processes they go through to make the tours such as success. In series 2 and 3, the team turn their hands to a huge number of various transport topics such as moquette, tiling, Johnston type face, posters and much, much more!
In this episode the team start the new series with an epic trip to discover how enamel signs are made, with exclusive access behind the scenes at AJ Wells’ factory on the Isle of Wight. We see all aspects of fabrication, try our hand at screen printing and follow the creation of a roundel and new signage for the renaming of Overground lines.
