To put it simply, it would be a dream of mine to be allowed to tour around the disused and abandoned Underground stations of London (of which apparently, there are many).
I think that these posters are pretty much the reason I’d love to do this so much, it’s kind of like a snap shot of life from the past.
How amazing then would it have been to be the guy that made this discovery? A tunnel that had remained unused and forgotten since the 1950′s at Notting Hill Gate station, the posters that remain dating it beautifully.
See all the pictures on Mike Ashworth’s Flickr.
Bit of an update; just perusing the fabulous Going Underground blog, and apparently there is one plucky indidvidual that is aiming to make access to London’s disused stations a reality. Read all about it here.
