Description: | This colour-illustrated postcard shows a three-quarter view of the front of Broad Street station, a mainline terminus for the North London Railway in the early 1900s. Next to the station is Liverpool Street station and in the background is the Great Eastern Hotel.
The station, which opened in 1865, served as the terminus for a network of commuter railways linking east and west London via the looping route of the North London line. With nine platforms, it became the third busiest London station in the early 1900s.
The station was damaged during the Second World War. It became semi-derelict and was eventually closed and demolished in the 1980s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - Collection of London's Transport Museum | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1907 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
