Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway on 22 August 1856 as part of the Eastern Counties Railway branch to Loughton, which was eventually extended to Epping and Ongar in 1865. The station then formed part of the Great Eastern Railway''s system until that company was merged into the London & North Eastern Railway in 1923. The station was subsequently transferred to form part of London Underground''s Central Line from 14 December 1947. This formed a part of the long planned, and delayed, Eastern Extension of the Central line that was part of the London Passenger Transport Board''s "New Works Programme" of 1935 - 1940. The station was partially reconstructed in 1893, the most notable feature being the provision of a bay platform that remained in use until transfer to the Underground. The station is a fine survivor of a Victorian suburban station, with later additions, and includes a brick built station building as well as extensive cast iron and timber canopies to the platforms.
