Flag Audio Description
Transcript: Under the green library roof, in the centre of the arch is an Art Deco brick and glass waiting room. Above that six ribbons, red, blue and purple float out from the top of a striped Maypole. To the left and right, two Spitfire planes fly in, as if they are soaring above the red bricks of Barkingside station and a futuristic interpretation of the number 91 tram at the bottom of the pole. The images are layered on top of orange, fading to deep red, and a turquoise blue sky.
