Came across this story on Twitter:
"In the late 1950s, the Notting Hill tube station underwent a major
overhaul when the old lifts that transported passengers to and from the
train platforms were abandoned and replaced with modern escalators. The
passageways to the lifts were sealed off too and everything within them
was subsequently frozen in time.

In 2010, some new routine works were underway when the sealed-off
passageways were re-discovered after 50 years, revealing a mini museum
of well-preserved vintage posters from the post-war era."

A similar thing happened on the Berlin U-Bahn's Alexanderplatz, when
they re-opened the station, did it not?

Did I also hear of a similar phenomenon on the Paris Metro?

Notting Hill Gate is probably one of the few London examples from the late
1950s, though.
