Autobiography of Harry Cumberbatch
Harry Cumberbatch was born in Barbados in 1943 and came to England in September 1964 to join London Transport as a Bus Conductor living in Newham, London.
In 1964 I was recruited in Barbados by London Transport to work on the buses, after some preparation I arrived at Bow bus garage in East London during the summer of that year. I had previously worked in the merchant navy as a seaman and had ambitions to return to sea as an officer, only to be denied the opportunity here because of a ‘colour bar’. However, becoming a bus conductor and then a driver taught me a great deal about the East End of London and its working class communities.
