round thing outside liverpool street
In article . com,
lonelytraveller writes I meant the central line rather than the circle line - where the escalators are now is where you have marked "offices" on your plan, but on a 1980s photo - http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/c483527.html - there is a road there, rather than a building for "offices". That's the cab road (you're dragging back memories here). If you look at the photo in that gallery showing the Great Eastern Hotel, the train is on platform 9, the Circle entrance is under the hotel, the offices are visible on the right. The picture with the Solari board shows 12 to 18. The roof over these was removed and replaced by a concrete raft holding up offices. The present roof is on the other side of the brick arches visible at left. You can also see the footbridge that took you over 9 and 10 (and all the way across the station, IIRC). http://www.photolondon.org.uk/assets/nmr/large/cc73_2309.jpg is looking down the offices towards the country end; you can see the footbridge behind the destination board. http://freepages.nostalgia.rootsweb.com/~cyberheritage/lond22.jpg is looking towards the offices from platform 5. The white building above the platform number is a bistro, with the footbridge behind it. http://www.ben****ers.org/images/fro...reetstation.jp g shows platform 9. You can see cars behind platform 10; I think the cab road came down there. So I was wondering how you got to the central line, as there doesnt seem to be any way to go in, or did everyone have to go via broad street? There was a subsurface ticket hall. Then, IIRC, there were two passageways leading to staircases. One emerged somewhere around platform 11 - indeed, I believe it's still there - and the other over near 1/2. -- Clive D.W.
