| 説明 | Holden’s European Moderne prototype - Sudbury Town Underground Station (Piccadilly Line), 13 April 2024. The original station was opened in June 1903 by the Metropolitan District Railway (commonly known as the District Railway – DR), on its extension from Park Royal & Twyford Abbey/Ealing Common to South Harrow. In March 1910 the branch services were extended over Metropolitan tracks to Uxbridge. Most of the stations on the South Harrow branch were rebuilt in the early 1930’s for the replacement of District services by Piccadilly services, which occurred in July 1932 when they were extended from Hammersmith. The rebuilt Sudbury Town station was opened a year earlier in July 1931. The station was designed by consulting architect Charles Holden, the first in his European Moderne style after his 1930 architectural tour to Scandinavia, Holland and Germany had persuaded him to abandon his earlier style. He adopted a double cube design (he would use a block or drum as an alternative in some later designs) but uniquely compared to his later stations the brick walls were load-bearing (as in his earlier pre-1931 stations) with a concrete cap roof. However, faults soon began to appear such as a leaking concrete roof which discoloured the brickwork. Further, it became apparent that the use of a steel frame (with brick facing) offered clear advantages such as greater flexibility in design. Nonetheless, Sudbury Town was a ground-breaking design in British architecture. The station is listed Grade II*.Pictured is the station building and eastbound platform with a rounded-end waiting room which became a favoured form for Holden. |
