Newly Discovered London Underground Posters
Absolutely love these posters. They were found in the Notting Hill Gate station. I’ll quote directly from the flickr site.
Work at the station has recently uncovered these amazing advertising posters in non-public areas and that date from c1956 – 1959 when the station’s lifts were removed and replaced by escalators. These are in an old lift passageway.
We will be leaving these intact – and please do not pester the station staff as the posters are wholly inaccessible – which is why they’ve probably survived 50 odd years!
The photos were taken officially – please do credit London Underground in any links.
You can see all the photographs of the posters here.

These are incredible! I had a look at the flikr site too, simply amazing. It is such a nice thought to think how much is actually hidden from us and discovering something like this inspires the little boy inside me to go snooping around dark corners!
