Description: | This is a colour-illustrated postcard of Southfields Underground station, which is on the Wimbledon branch of the District line. Viewed from the railway line, it shows the island platform, station building with overhanging canopy, and part of the signal cabin.
The station opened in 1889 and was operated by the London & South Western Railway (L&S.W.R.). Later, Southern Railway (S.R.) and the District Railway ran services through the station.
The station has been used since it opened by passengers travelling to the annual Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships, which are held close by. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - Collection of London's Transport Museum | Subjects: | Transport Sport | Temporal: | 1906 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Publisher : The Collectors' Publishing Co | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
