Description: | These houses were under construction near Burnt Oak Underground station on the Northern line extension to Edgware in 1927. The extension opened on 27 October 1924.
In the early 1920s this was a sparsely populated green field site. London County Council built a satellite community, Watling estate, there; the Northern line supplied its transport connections.
Many of the residents came from overcrowded slums in St Pancras and Islington. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design Home and Family | Temporal: | 18 Jun 1927 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Photographer : Topical Press | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
