Edgware Road station was a station on the world’s first underground railway.

The main Edgware Road station now serves the Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines. It opened a few months later than other stops on the rest of the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington and Farringdon, opening on 1 October 1863.

A second Edgware Road station was opened on 15 June 1907 by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR, now the Bakerloo line) when it extended its line from the temporary northern terminus at Marylebone. In common with other early stations of the lines owned by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, that station was designed by architect Leslie Green with an ox-blood red glazed terracotta façade.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.

The 1807 Hyatt map William Hyett produced an amazingly accurate map of the London countryside in 1807, using just pen and paper. An interior decorator with royal patronage, Frederick Crace amassed some 1200 printed and hand-drawn maps charting the development of the city and its immediate vicinity from around 1570 to 1860. A couple of these maps date from 1807 as William Hyett put pen and ink to paper and drew a remarkable accurate view of the then countryside around north and west London.

The Yorkshire Stingo (1770) This was a simple rural pub in Marylebone (named after strong ale from God’s Own County) before the building of London’s first bypass, the New Road (later Marylebone Road and Euston Road). Once the pub was connected to London by road, business took off in a dramatic way. Pleasure gardens were built at the rear where some of Britain’s first balloonists demonstrated. The pub was one of the earliest places to use the term ’music hall’ for vaudeville and burlesque once its music hall here opened on 24 August 1835. Most notably for London history, during 1829 George Shillibeer started London’s first omnibus service in the capital between the Yorkshire Stingo and the Bank of England. The route took it down the New Road, City Road, Moorgate to the Bank. Shillibeer’s name is commemorated in the nearby Shillibeer Place. The ’Stingo’ is no more - demolished in 1964 to make way for the widening of Marylebone Road to cater for the Marylebone Flyover.
