The eastbound platform looking eastwards from its
western end.

Eastbound platform, again looking eastwards.
There are now three tracks in use here: the eastbound
track, the track feeding the terminating platform at Tower Hill
(formerly the westbound track), and the new westbound track built
where the westbound platform at Mark Lane station used to be.
The train in the photo is on the new westbound track.
|
The remaining platform and the staircase are still
visible on the north side just before arriving at Tower Hill
station.

View of the staircase from where the westbound platform
used to be (it was demolished to provide room for an extra track).

Marvellous photo from June 2006 showing the time capsule qualities
of disused underground stations. Being generally inaccessible
and being of little use for anything else, disused stations can
have a remarkable preservation.

Southern entrance to the station (similar to the current Baker
Street Circle line platform area).
This has now been reopened as a pedestrian subway
under the road.

The pedestrian subway that was originally part of the station.
The security access door to the eastbound platform is visible
at the end (with the red & white warning sign on it).

The station building in Byward Street with the entrance
arrowed. This photo, dating from the late-1970s/early-1980s shows
the hoarding erected to cover the work being carried out to convert
the original crossover walkway to a pedestrian subway. The subway
is now separated from the platform area. As of Dec 2001, a soul-less
All Bar One pub was opened on the site.
To view a photo of the same building in September
2005, move your cursor over the image - note the extra top level
addition on the left of the building. The arched entrance on
the right lead to the Mark Lane Station Chambers.
