Description: | The station in this picture is Tufnell Park. It was opened in 1907 on the original section of the Charing Cross Euston & Hampstead Railway. Signs reading Hampstead Railway are displayed on the outside walls above each entrance.
The station was designed by Leslie Green in the Arts & Crafts style. It remained unchanged until the Underground Ticketing System (U.T.S.) was installed in the late 1980s. The U.T.S. is the gate system that reads the magnetic strip on a ticket to give access to the platforms.
This photo was taken in 1921. It gives a view of the shops next to station, including a cigar shop and a hairdresser. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | Mar 1921 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
