p.m. to 5.30 p.m. It is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and National Holidays. 
It exists for the purposes of : 
(a) Giving technical assistance verbally or through the post. 
(b) Supplying spare parts over the counter or through the post. 
(c) Repairing and re-conditioning machines, or parts of machines, of our make. 
Burrage Grove is the first turning on the left from Burrage Road when entering 
Burrage Road from the Plumstead Road. (See final paragraph below.) 
The nearest Railway Station is WOOLWICH ARSENAL, SOUTHERN REGION 
RAILWAY. This Station is five minutes walk from our Service Depot in Burrage 
Grove. There is an excellent service of electric trains from Charing Cross, Waterloo, 
Cannon Street and London Bridge Stations, Southern Region Railway. 
Bus routes 53, 53a, 54, 99 and 122. Trolleybus routes, 696 and 698, and Tram routes 
36, 38 and 40, pass the end of Burrage Road (one minute from the Service Depot). 
Bus routes 21a, 75 and 161 and Tram routes 44, 46 and 72 serve Beresford Square 
which is three minutes walk from the Service and Repair Department. 
Visitors from the North can pass into Woolwich via the Free Ferry between North 
Woolwich and Woolwich. North Woolwich is a British Railways terminus and is also 
served by Bus and Trolleybus routes 101, 569, 669 and 685. There is also a tunnel 
under the River Thames at this point for foot passengers. The Free Ferry accom-
modates all types of motor vehicles and there is a very frequent service. The Southern 
landing stage is less than a mile from the Service Depot. 
Visitors arriving by road, if they are strangers to the locality, should enquire for 
Beresford Square, Woolwich. Upon arrival there the road skirting the Royal 
Arsenal should be followed in an Easterly direction for about four hundred yards, and 
Burrage Road is the second turning on the right after leaving the Square. Burrage 
Grove is then the first turning on the left. 
THE DRIVER AND THE LAW 
The driver of a motor cycle MUST be INSURED against Third Party Claims and MUST 
be able to produce an INSURANCE CERTIFICATE showing that such an insurance 
is in force. 
If your Insurance Certificate specifies you can only drive one particular machine you 
MUST NOT DRIVE any other machine unless its owner has a current Certificate 
covering " ANY DRIVER " and it is advisable to remember that, in the absence of 
such a provision the penalties for doing so are very heavy. 
The driver of a motor cycle MUST hold a current DRIVING LICENCE. If you are a 
learner and hold a Provisional Driving Licence, your machine must show, front and 
back, the standard " L " plates in red and white and you must not take a PILLION 
PASSENGER unless that passenger is the holder of a current UNRESTRICTED 
driving licence. 
As soon as you receive your driving licence, sign it in the appropriate place and do so 
each time it is renewed. It is an offence not to. 
Make sure you are well acquainted with the recommendations set down in the " Highway 
Code," a copy of which can be obtained from any main Post Office.
