| 説明 | Russell Square Underground Station, 2 May 2023. It was opened in December 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway (GNP&BR), by then part of the Underground Electric Railways of London, and eventually becoming the Piccadilly Line of the London Passenger Transport Board. The station was designed by Leslie Green, the UERL’s first Chief Architect from 1902 to 1907, when he became ill with TB, tragically dying in 1908 aged only 33. He was an early user of the American steel framed structure so that his two storey station buildings would be able to have offices or flats built on top at the same time or at a later date – not achieved in all cases, as at Russell Square. Green favoured a British Arts & Crafts style and wanted to adopt a corporate style for the UERL. The exterior of his stations therefore featured ox-blood glazed faience tiles and his ticket office green glazed tiles. His platform tunnels all had the name and signage in tiles and featured coloured geometric tile patterns unique to each station. Russell Square is a Grade II listed building. The station was the location for the 1972 British Horror Film ‘Death Line’ about the survivor of a group of navvies building the line who got trapped by a cave-in who became cannibals; one survives to the present day to eat the odd late-night drunk passenger and then kidnaps a pretty young student stranded in the station! The cannibal cannot say anything except ‘Mind the Doors’! Pictured is the ticket hall with few original features although the colour of the tiles reflects Green's. |
