I got it in the end though.

This temporary wooden structure lasted for about a year, before being replaced with the current station (itself, I think, being modernised at present). <br /><br />It therefore has the honour of being the first station for the underground railway in London, or indeed the world (or possibly the second, as I am not sure if the Paddington terminus was built first ...)<br /><br />Kudos, regardless!Lee Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09812128348822569086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458031571764013912.post-1698063525995004012010-10-16T04:53:38.025-07:002010-10-16T04:53:38.025-07:00Hmm, I'm stumped.

That makes the houses at the bottom right Field Lane, which gives a Dickens connection but i'm probably obsessing too much and way off-kilter!Williamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458031571764013912.post-66911886338499271282010-10-16T03:36:40.032-07:002010-10-16T03:36:40.032-07:00You're correct about Farringdon Road (well don...You're correct about Farringdon Road (well done!) ... so what's the crucial building in this picture?
