London Transport relief tile of the motif for the County of Buckinghamshire, designed by Harold Stabler, Carter's of Poole, for use in tube stations, c1938
For several of the stations built or reconstructed as part of the 1935 - 38 New Works Programme for London Transport (such as Aldgate East or Bethnal Green) a series of 18 relief tiles were commissioned from Harold Stabler - a designer associated not only with London Transport but also Carter's of Poole - the pottery that made the bulk of the tiles. The designs show images associated with London Transport and the area it served.
This tile shows the swan from the armorial bearings of the County of Buckinghamshire, then served by the LPTB area by both train and bus.
