Grahame's N/2mm London Bridge train set

[grahame]

Here's a couple of interesting snaps of the canopy, from a similar position but with a few years (probably more than 20) between them. Note the added 'London Bridge' lettering on the valance and the older style street lights replaced with more modern types. The bottom section of New London Bridge House has also had cladding added covering the hexagonal windows and the Underground entrance seemed to have gone:

Just shows that the dating of photos to your modelled timeframe is essential to avoid adding incorrect details

Presumably the Underground entrance had been moved inside the main-line station, hence the two logos on the valance?

It was removed as part of the Underground station redevelopment when the Jubilee line extension was built from Green Park to Stratford between 1993 and 1999. This is an axonometric view but it's hard to match to today's street plan as the whole area has been redeveloped as streets have disappeared. You have to scroll down to London Bridge - 3D maps of every Underground station – HIJKLM

Out of interest I did come across this 1965 artwork poster in the LT Museum https://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/collections-online/artwork/item/2006-11004

Whilst going down this rabbit warren one of the underground drawings that most fascinated me was the one of Camden junction on the northern line. A friend, who used to be in charge of the underground permanent way, said that each tunnel was fitted with signs to remind track workers which tunnel they were in. The drawing is in this link:

Harry Wood's website. Blog, map examples, and assorted other bits and bobs. The blog is probably more interesting than the rest of this site... and the blog isn't very interesting so what does that tell you?

A final item for the Camden Junction rabbit warren - apologies Grahame .

A London Transport Museum Hidden Hangouts from December 2023 - The Secret Tunnels of Camden Junctions. They walk the line from Camden Town southwards to the junction.
