Westbourne Grove Odeon 1970s Framed London Bus Blind

Sadly demolished in 1986, construction of the Odeon cinema at Westbourne Grove commenced in 1938, but with the Second World War putting pay to that, it didn't actually open until much later in 1955. A genuine piece of London Transport history, these large original bus blinds make a huge statement on any wall in the classic Johnston font, commissioned by Frank Pick in 1913.

Although these are undated, they're linen/canvas backed so are most likely from the 1970s. As with any item this old, it may show signs of age such as small creases, marks or discolouration, but we think this just adds to its beauty and appeal.
