Description: | This colour-illustrated postcard of Southfields Underground station shows the Wimbledon branch of the District line. Passengers wait on the platform for the approaching train. The station building with its overhanging canopy is on the far railway bank.
The station opened in 1889 and was operated by the London & South Western Railway. Later, Southern Railway 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 | Temporal: | c1905 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
