Travel CVC June #2

 Travel Wallet

Meet George Roberts who has a long journey to school every day. This means him having to rise at 6 and catch the 7.05 train from Springfield Street Railway Station in Windsor, to London, as he needs to be there by 8 am. He alights at Paddington Station and walks 10 mins to Paddington Technical College where he is studying engineering.

George buys his ticket every day which costs him 2 shillings. He has to be back at Paddington to get the 4.50 train home or get an evening ticket if he wants to stay later. He sometimes does that so he can socialise with friends he has made.

He keeps his tickets with a travel identity card provided by the Springfield Street Railway Company and distributed by the Post Office. If he is asked for it by the train conductor, he must show it as the certificate allows him to travel on School Day Tickets.

The wallet is a TH file folder covered with two different pieces of TH papers (one front and one middle). The story is told with the found relative photo, ephemera and stamps, I like to create additions myself if I can't find what I want in my supplies and here I did with his name, identity card label and Paddington station label.





This is my second June project for Country View Crafts 'Travel' FaceBook challenge. If you've popped over from there thankyou for your support.
