...the newer replacement of which was the sad scene

...on that subject, this is the bar that has been
opened in the station building at Denmark Hill. This establishment
represents about three-quarters of the area of the original building,

1930s map showing Marylebone station with its goods depots and
sidings. They are now part of history and virtually all of the
land has been built over. The St John's Wood Road station seen
at the top of the map on the Metropolitan Line was closed in
1939, shortly after being renamed Lords station.

Regent's Canal.
The bridge over the canal is the mainline going into
Marylebone and behind it, out of shot, the Metropolitan Line's
tracks into Baker Street. The brick wall on the right shows evidence
of 'filling in' (the yellower bricks) necessitated by the removal
of the bridges carrying the goods tracks.
