"Too Many Crooks" movie film poster c1959, as found in disused area of Notting Hill Gate tube station, London, 2010
Work at the station has recently uncovered these amazing advertising posters in non-public areas and that date from c1956 - 1959 when the station's lifts were removed and replaced by escalators. These are in an old lift passageway.
This poster for the British comedy film "Too Many Cooks", starring Terry-Thomas, George Cole, Brenda de Banzie and Bernard Bresslaw. It was on show just down the Central line at the Odeon at Marble Arch.
We will be leaving these intact - and please do not pester the station staff as the posters are wholly inaccessible - which is why they've probably survived 50 odd years!
The photos were taken officially - please do credit London Underground in any links.
