Wanstead Underground Station, 13 July 2024.
The London Passenger Transport Board’s New Works Programme of 1935 proposed extending the Central Line from its easternmost terminus at Liverpool Street through new tunnels to Stratford and thence (through further tunnels) over the LNER branch from Leytonstone to Epping and Ongar, which the LPTB would take over.
In addition, the New Works Programme planned for a new line through tube tunnels from Leytonstone (which would then become a junction) via Wanstead to link with the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) Ilford – Woodford (on the Leytonstone – Epping line) branch (the ‘Hainault Loop’) at Newbury Park, which the LPTB would also take over from Newbury Park. This envisaged a completely new station at Wanstead.
Although considerable works to the extension and stations had begun by 1939, the outbreak of WWII put completion on hold. The tunnels were initially used as air raid shelters then by Plessey as an aircraft component factory.
Post war, works restarted and the first stretch to Stratford was opened in December 1946 to be followed by the Leytonstone stretch via Leyton in May 1947 and the new tube line from Leytonstone to Newbury Park in December 1947.
The new station at Wanstead was designed by the LPTB’s consultant architect Charles Holden pre-war on a very grand scale and work had begun on this building. However, post war economies meant it was completed on a far more modest scale to that originally envisaged and with cheaper materials, for example, with the use of concrete and render rather than brick. Platform tiling was by Harold Stabler.
Pictured is the station building. The ventilation tower is composed of concrete blocks (rather than Holden’s high quality bricks) while the ticket hall is faced with light grey granite aggregate render to sill level and cream spar above, both having imitation joints hammered into the render to imitate the concrete blocks of the tower; moreover, the two entrance vestibules are faced with stylish black glazed bricks. Photographs of the station on opening show that the whole finish was very effective considering the enforced economies. Unfortunately, compared to Holden’s brick stations, Wanstead does not seem to have aged well and the black glazed bricks and the cream spar render of the southern elevation seems to have been defaced by some ‘artwork’.

Being pregnant in Zimbabwe’s capital doesn’t always come with access to proper medical care. Many young mothers in Harare live in poverty and cannot afford the costs of giving birth under medical supervision. Health insurance that could protect them from financial catastrophe doesn’t exist. To provide women access to essential maternal and child healthcare, Cordaid implemented the Urban Voucher Programme from 2014 to 2023, funded by the World Bank.
This innovative system worked much like an insurance scheme: with a single voucher, women from vulnerable households received free antenatal check-ups, care during childbirth, and postnatal support, as well as full coverage for costly hospital care in the event of complications, such as a Caesarean section or ambulance transport.
The programme helped tens of thousands of pregnant women, young mothers, and children. The number of timely care registrations and antenatal check-ups rose sharply. More than 57,000 women gave birth safely in a clinic or hospital using their voucher. And thanks to the voucher income, participating clinics improved the quality of care and staff motivation.
At the end of 2023, external funding ended. But because this support is too necessary to lose, Cordaid decided to continue the programme with its own resources in 2025.
In many low-income countries, women and girls often become mothers at a young age, not by choice, but because of poverty, lack of education, limited access to contraception, and social pressure.
To prevent unplanned or unwanted pregnancies and to empower girls to make their own decisions, the Urban Voucher Programme offers more than just medical care. It also provides young mothers with sexual education, access to contraception, and training in economic skills that help them earn an income.
The strength of the Urban Voucher Programme lies in its simplicity and impact. The voucher acts as a temporary health insurance for women who would otherwise have no safety net at all. In cities like Harare, where poverty is highly concentrated, that can mean the difference between life and death.
That’s why Cordaid restarted the programme in July 2025, using its own resources. In six months, the aim is to support 9,600 pregnant women in Harare, together with social workers, clinics, Zimbabwean health authorities, and our donors.
