Chancery Lane tube station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Originally the station had been more evenly spaced, but when the Central Line station at British Museum was closed and replaced with a new one at Holborn, this ceased to be the case. The original exit was on the north side of the street, by the junction with Chancery Lane, but was later moved to Staple Inn (one of the few surviving buildings from before the Great Fire of London) when the provision of escalators necessitated a new ticket hall to the east of the original. The station was opened on July 30, 1900 with its current name, but from June 25, 1934 was known for a brief while as Chancery Lane (Grays Inn). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chancery_Lane_tube_station   (320 words)

LURS: Underground News The station architect of UER Leslie Green produced a further modified scheme in 1904, using the space between the two rows of lifts for access, thus requiring only two booking offices, one at each end of this space, the exit passages leading from the top and bottom of the lift shaft grid. The design of the station at track level was probably to have been similar to that of King William Street, with platforms in a single station tunnel and a spur (up Air Street) for the access to lifts. The original Piccadilly Circus station was to have been the terminus for the line from South Kensington, and was to be located at the junction of Air Street with Piccadilly (where the street Piccadilly was much narrower then than now). www.lurs.org.uk /un/picc.htm   (1871 words)
