Description: | This is the site of Brent Underground station, Northern line Edgware extension, on what was then called the Hampstead line. The photograph was taken in September 1922, a year before the station opened on 19 November 1923.
A signboard in the foreground explains the minor construction work in progress behind it. In the background are open fields and trees. The coming of the Underground changed this scene, making the area an easily commutable distance to the City and West End.
This station was named Brent Cross from 1976 after the large shopping centre that opened nearby. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Environment Transport | Temporal: | 4 Sep 1922 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
