184. Aldwych Revisit

Managed to get to a few areas I missed on my Original Visit

I'm sure you all know the history of this disused station, if not Wiki it / check the link above.



Between Holborn and Aldwych:




Shuttered off lift pit:


Inside the lift pit:


Inside the lift pit looking up:


Unfinished area to the rear of the lift pits:


Decay:














The rule of thumb with the posters at Aldwych is: The older they look, the newer they are!
So these wartime era posters are fake reproductions:

I was lucky enough to enter this passageway in pitch darkness.
However.... The bottom three rows of tiles, which appear slightly differently here, are completely glow in the dark!


Unfortunately I couldn't get a decent photo as it was still really dark down there!

The glow in the dark paint continued down the stairs:


Tunnels:




Platform 1, has a train permanently moored up for filming purposes:


Keep clear of the doors:


Platform 2, looking towards Holborn (through that door):

Note the tiling test panels on the right at the end!

Stairs up to the ticket hall. As lovely as it is, I covered this last time, so didn't really want to see it again.



Cheers for looking:
