Many readers will know that some of the "Big Four" railway companies had their own versions of LT's Holden-designed stations. I've recorded/posted a few here and would be interested in any other examples still extant (e.g. the LMS' Hoylake). www.flickr.com/photos/24772733@N05/sets/72157606241017530/ |

Did Holden only design stations for the Underground, or did he do some designs for the "Big Four"?

Holden only designed for LT, but the LMS, LNER and SR certainly had 1930s Holden-esque stations built by other architects.

What about Senate House, which Holden designed for the University of London. He also designed Bristol Central Library and what is now Zimbabwe house.

I like the way that the new Metro 'M' cubes outside the station entrances have to say Metro underneath, is that just in case anyone thought it was a Morrisons or something. The dumbing down has ruined the original clean design of the 'M' cubes.

Hardly different, though, are they?   Anyway - @ 21146: are you interested in Art Deco (or its British equivalent, Modernism), generally, as a style applied to railway buildings? Or Holden, specifically? if the former, miiight be able to help. Can furtle through library of Art Deco books if you like? Although the majority of buildings covered are head offices/private residences/the like, such as the Hoover building on the A40. |

Hardly different, though, are they? I think the similarity is a lot greater with the old logo which Morrisons used until last year:  |
