Description
Stairwell entrance to Bank station, showing metal railings and illuminated tombstone-style roundel. The direction sign attached to railings above steps refers to the District and Circle lines which actually serve Monument, rather than Bank, station; the two stations were, however, connected at this time by escalators.
