Description: | This picture was taken in 1927 to show the Underground station at Camden Town. The City branch of the Northern line had been extended into the area in 1924.
The shot is dominated by the Midland Bank building which was still standing in 2000 at the corner of Chalk Farm and Kentish Town Roads.
The main station entrance is visible to the left, fronting onto Chalk Farm Road. There are two entrances, one on either side of the bank building.
In the foreground, a man is pushing a street-seller's barrow. The streets remained crowded with vendors up until the First World War, but by the 1920s they had disappeared from most areas. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | Apr 1927 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
