| Probably one of the most characteristic aspects
of this grandiose ceramic tiling scheme is the WAY OUT and NO EXIT
signs on the platforms. None of the early stations had them and they
did not feature on all of the others either. Reproduced here are a
two examples. The left-hand picture was taken at Caledonian Road and
is from a Woolliscroft station, characterized by the cream infill
of the temple-like structure. The right-hand picture is from the Maw/Simpson
station at Covent Garden. This manufacturer made them with light green
infill. Both stations survive quite well and are worth a visit. |
