"The Horse's Mouth" with Alec Guinness - c1959 movie film poster as found in disused area of Notting Hill Gate 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 a c1958/9 film "The Horse's Mouth" starring the famous British actor Alec Guinness. The poster notes that it was the 1959 Royal Performance Film.
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.
