| Description | This image shows Edgware Road Underground station on the Bakerloo line in 1907-08. This deep-level station was designed by Leslie Green in the Arts & Crafts classical style and opened on 15 June 1907. This is one of the smallest stations he designed. It originally formed part of a substantial row of shops. A greengrocer, Bunyan & Dwyer, occupies the shop space to the left of the station entrance, while the space to the right is occupied by Lilley & Skinner. The Tube line was financed by the entrepreneur Charles Tyson Yerkes. The buildings to the south were demolished in the mid-1960s to make way for the Marylebone flyover. Many of the people in this photo have shifted during the long exposure of the shot, such as the young girl to the left whose ghostlike image appears twice, staring into the camera. |
