Summary
[edit]DescriptionOsterley Underground Station (Piccadilly Line) - 52827067202.jpg |
English: Osterley Underground Station, 6 April 2023. The original station was opened, on a different, nearby site in 1883 on the Metropolitan District Railway’s extension from Mill Hill Park (now Acton Town) to Hounslow Town. It was named Osterley & Spring Grove but closed in March 1934 when a new replacement station, named Osterley, opened. This station was built by the Underground Electric Railways of London for the extension of Piccadilly Railway services which began running in January 1933 (initially to the old station until the new one was ready). District Line services ceased serving Osterley in October 1964.
Frank Pick, the Managing Director of the UERL, gave the responsibility of designing the new stations on the Acton Town – Hounslow extension to his favoured architectural consultant, Charles Holden, rather than the UERL’s own Chief Architect, Stanley Heaps. Despite this awkward situation, the two architects, to their credit, worked well together and Heaps often acted as site advisor on the construction of Holden’s stations and was sometimes given the responsibility of designing the details, as long as he followed Holden’s Modernist principles. However, in the case of Osterley, Holden went further and delegated the design to Heaps, but again, following ‘Holdenesque’ principles – which Heaps accomplished in this case. Pictured is the modest, low station building with an impressive tower with an illuminated pinnacle above. |
