Haverstock Hill (Midland)

HAVERSTOCK HILL (MIDLAND)

(1868-1916)

One of three closed stations on the Midland line out of St.Pancras, the three being Camden Road, Haverstock Hill and Finchley Road.
All fell victim to competition from tube lines, buses and trams. The additional benefit of closing them was that it speeded up
train traffic to the suburbs. This trend occurred on most inner city stations on main lines.

The paltry remnants of street level evidence. This is likely to have been an access structure built subsequent to the station building being demolished (which survived until the 1960s at least). This location, Lismore Circus, was designed in the 19th Century to have elegant streets radiating from it. Now it has the Gospel Oak council estate.

Some new and vicious looking security fencing has been attached to the walls at surface level here.
