Thanks to ModeShift for organising their annual Walking to School around the Globe event. I was pleased to share 10 mins of what we’ve seen with @livingstreets.bsky.social working with National Highways of what it’s like for children living near major roads.

...for an active transit and public transit upgrade worthy to call, in retrospect, an early touchpoint with a new era for regional mobility, one that will ultimately introduce Chicagoland to modern regional rail and see a large modeshift away from car trips, helped by safer active transit everywhere

Did you ever ‘go in luxury and comfort’ on the Blue Buses in and around Willington? This #ModeShift month why not leave the car at home and take the bus? Tailey and George Ltd formed in 1937; they operated their Blue Bus service until the mid-1970s.

#Bus
Bundle of printed advertising material for the Blue Bus Service. Included is a bus timetable and colourful leaflets with illustrations of buses. A navy blue bus driver’s uniform felt badge lies on top of the bundle. The badge has a logo in light blue and yellow of a winged shield with BBS in the centre, ‘Blue Bus Services’ is embroidered underneath.

Is balancing on a big balloon an easy way to get from London to Paris?? In this caricature, George Woodward was probably depicting the French dancer Marie-Jean-Augustin Vestris, who danced at the London Opera House in the 1780s.

#ModeShift
A coloured drawing on stained paper. It depicts a dancer standing on a balloon; in his right hand he holds a hat with streamers and in his left a moneybag. He stands with his left leg at a right angle. The balloon has a balcony around it upon which are moneybags and a violin.

When you think of donkeys you often imagine them at the seaside giving rides to children. This one worked in Ripley, belonging to John Wood, landlord of the Albion Inn. Children used to sneak rides on the donkey, which lived in a field behind the pub.

#PhotoFriday #ModeShift
A donkey stands with a cart behind. A man with a moustache, dressed in a suit stands by the side. A woman in a white blouse, long dark skirt and large hat stands by the donkey’s head holding the reins, while another lady in a long black silk dress stands by the man’s side.

If #ModeShift month has made you curious about how transport has developed, then have a delve into this fascinating book in our #LocalStudies collection. ‘Carriers & Coachmasters’ shows us how people travelled before the road networks that we have today.

#LocalHistory
The cover of the book 'Carriers and coachmasters: trade and travel before the turnpikes' by Dorian Gerhold. The cover shows an engraving by Hogarth of 1747 of a stage coach in an inn yard. A large lady is being helped inside.

If you’re looking for an unusual form of transport how about a hot air balloon? This one is preparing to wow the crowds at Pimlico Recreation Ground, Ilkeston, in 1907, when it takes off into the air.

If #ModeShift month has made you reach for your bicycle, you could start a cycling diary, like our #ArchiveOfTheWeek from Ashton E. Mosley in 1884. Probably better not to fall off and break the handlebars though!

#bicycle #Victorian
Open double page of a lined copybook. The date for each entry is on the left, with the handwritten text on the right. The entry for Tuesday 15 April reads "Bicycled to Derby in the morning, had lunch at Thornhill, came back at 3.30, had a fall in Etwall smashed the handles. After tea went with Arty round the Common. Took the bicycle to R. Woodward's. Very cold, windy and showery."
