November Quiz - Day 10

The tiling looks like the wartime new works stuff. I don't think its any of the bakerloo stations, as they had line coloured trim, unless its been doctored...

So my thought is Highgate.

Inset 3 would be Fishmongers Hall (by London Bridge) - actually recognised thanks to the shiny balustrade of London Bridge!

Sloane Square

sloane square going down to the w/b platform

I'm leaning towards Highgate too........

The decor reminds me of Paddington but I don't recall a long straight staircase and passageway.

Inset 1 is Lincoln Cathedral. I give up on Inset 2 but I'm sure it's not anywhere in my locale (Oxford).

A couple with the correct location, and a few have the insets, including john3ners who got all three on PM.

Sloane Square - stairs to inner rail platform [Chris M]


Inset 1: Lincoln Cathedral, from the top of Steep Hill [SE13]


Inset 2: Library, Balliol College, Oxford [stuartpalmer]


Inset 3: Fish Hall, London Bridge [Chris M]

Fear not, yerkes - I only got it because I spent three years of my life in Balliol!

Inset 3: Fish Hall, London Bridge [Chris M]



Hold on a minute. How can we show this picture, label it as 'Fish Hall' and miss all of the Underground connections?
To the upper right of the picture is the new Regis House, the site of the former King William Street station.
Running behind that and behind Fish Hall, you can see the line of Arthur Street which lead to the notorious Arthur Street curve, which was so narrow that the tube lines had to be placed one above the other to avoid passing beneath buildings. The steep incline at this point proved to be a major obstacle for the early electric locomotives.
To the extreme bottom left - and just out of sight - is Old Swan Pier, where the first tube tunnel of the City and South London Railway was begun on 28 October 1886 from within a shaft that had been sunk into the bed of river.
