Vintage 1950s London Transport posters in disused passageways at Notting Hill Gate tube station, London - photographed in 2010

Many people now know the story of the uncovered and disused ex-lift passageways in Notting Hill Gate tube station that LU workers rediscovered in 2010 after 50 years of being sealed up. I've now added a few more pictures to the set - a set that has garnered more attention that I could have ever imagined!

 

Amongst the most careworn of the posters are this batch of three London Transport 'banner' type posters that would also have been seen within tube trains. The posters, such as "Said Gladstone" were also issued in a portrait version.

 

The posters and passageways have, after much thought, been re-entombed and are again inaccessible so please don't pester the station staff
