Description: | This image was taken before Chalk Farm Underground station was opened on 22 June 1907 on the Hampstead branch of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. This is now part of the modern Northern line. The ground-floor shop fronts are unoccupied and the station name and Underground signs are not yet installed.
The station has the longest facade of any station designed by Leslie Green, with two elevations set at approximately 45 degrees to each other. The frontage is covered with the 'oxblood' glazed terracotta blocks typical of stations in the Arts & Crafts style designed by Green. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | Jan 1907 - May 1907 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
