Highgate tube station, Car park and entrance
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Highgate tube station, Car park and entrance. In the 1930's there were grand plans for Highgate tube station, a large building at the top of the hill would have been the main entrance with dual escalators in a stepped enclosure down to the level of the surface platforms where a secondary entrance would have provided access from the car park. The building would have been topped by a statue of Dick Whittington and his cat by Eric Aumonier who created 119124. After the war, maintenance works and reconstruction of war damage on the existing network had the greatest call on London Underground funds. Funds for new works were severely limited and the priority was given to the completion of the Central Line extensions. The improvements planned for the Northern Line were abandoned leaving a much more modest entrance structure and passengers having to walk up these 1271340 |
