Were those inset bits, now tiled white, above the Circle Line platform once
open to the air, or were they just for style? Neil -- Neil Williams in Milton Keynes, UK. Put first name before the at to reply. |

Open to allow steam to escape. Wonder why they closed them? Natural light might have been nice - or is the station too deep for that? Neil -- Neil Williams in Milton Keynes, UK.

Euston Square, originally Gower Street, also had them, but not so easy to see now. The ones at Baker Street were restored to something like original condition probably over twenty years ago now, and lighting, at various times either high pressure sodium (SON) or metal halide was installed to simulate daylight coming down the shafts. |
