Description: | The station at Old Street was opened in 1901 by the City & South London Railway. By the 1920s, Old Street was in the hands of the Underground Group. The station was included in the Northern line project, which saw the line extend into south London and many stations redesigned.
Old Street was modernised to a design by Stanley Heaps. The works cost £23,584 (nearly £1 million in modern terms). This photo was taken not long after the new station was opened in 1929. A group of boys are standing in front of the station next to a tram stop, the rectangular structure on the pavement.
The buildings were demolished in the 1960s. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Cityscape | Temporal: | May 1929 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
