That looks unmistakably like my local station as was for 38 years or so and I won't just give it away as no-one else has had a go. I watched it being built as a young teenager, Ward's was closed to build it!

Seven Sisters +4
I remember being chucked off the Vic Line there once because of a Sig failure at Walthamstowe and walking up the road to find a greasy spoon for breakfast.

For anyone who didn't know, Ward's Stores sat in the parade of shops from the corner of Seven Sisters Road towards West Green Road with four or five shop fronts. It was closed prior to the construction of Seven sisters station, I believe a shaft was driven through the floor of the store just inside its centre entrance as part of the station build. Back then I lived in Tottenham and went to school at Stamford Hill so twice a day if lucky I got to glance into what had been Ward's, but which was obscured at street level by hoardings, from the top deck of a 243!
