Pre-war? escalator photos

[Oracle]

I am working with the person who is responsible for a huge transport photo collection. These have turned up and I wanted to share them.

Anyone recognise the location please?

It looks to me like Holborn. The station was changed quite heavily with the closure of British Museum and HOL has the only bank of four escalators that I've seen on the combine. They are fascinating pics, especially the machine room.

I'm with Alex on this one, Holborn is the only one with a bank of four.

Aye, Holborn it is, I am quite sure too...

Bit of a thread revival...never mind.........I thought it was the only bank of four too.....until going through North Greenwich the other day. I don't think any of these photos were taken there though ;D

I've just seen this

"http://www.ltmcollection.org/photos/photo/photo.html?design=abc&IXsearch=Holborn&IXsummary=results/results&_IXSR_=QvdXAbUVlfA&_IXMAXHITS_=1&_IXFIRST_=106"

why don't they do this anymore (this being the escalator config). It would make sense as this is clearly how the station is designed.

Noticed this url didn't get pasted in correctly.

Try this instead.

I wonder what members thought about the new photo collection site from the London Transport Museum as I worked on the project and feedback always useful.

It's very good, but is it cricket to put direct link photos on the forum?
