Description: | These men are sheltering under the portico of Hendon station.
Between 1923 and 1926, the Northern line extension north to Edgware and south to Morden was completed. This station opened as the temporary terminus for the Northern line from Golders Green in 1923. The terminus at Edgware was completed in 1924 and this photo, showing the station decorated with flags, was taken to mark the opening.
The station was designed by Stanley Heaps, who completed many commissions for London Transport. It was built in open country by the village of Hendon. Within a few years, roads and expensive large houses were built in the surrounding fields. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 19 Nov 1923 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
