Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

West Green Station 1962

The station lay in a cutting.. I remember it being serverely vandalised at the end of the 1960s. The site was used a couple of times for a fun fair, but was then used to build a new comprehensive school, which replaced Downhills.
The school on the site was opened in September 1970.
The locomotive is working a North Woolwich to Palace Gates via Stratford, Lea Bridge, South Tottenham & Seven Sisters service. Last day of operation 7 January 1963.

Although, look at all that dirt and pollution coming from the locomotive.. Those people with back gardens backing onto the railway, daren't hang out their washing to dry.. :o)
