		The Northern Line is also home to a host of abandoned stations, including it's original terminus at King William Street (near London Bridge) which closed in 1900 after only ten years service, due to the severer gradients and curves on the approach to the station.
		The City and South London railway was the worlds first deep level underground railway, opening in 1890 and running between Stockwell and King William Street, via Kennington and Elephant and Castle.
		King William was used as an air raid shelter during the second world war, and presumably, is still in the same condition in which it was left in 1945.

		The first station to be known as Bank opened in early 1900 when the City and South London Railway (now part of the Northern Line) opened its extension to Moorgate.

		The first ``King's College'' in the New World was founded in 1756 in New York City, chartered by King George II.
		At the time, however, King's was still not the oldest university in English Canada, because Nova Scotia was not part of the former Quebec but was instead all of the former Acadia.
		It was only from that time onward that King's can claim to have been the oldest university in English Canada.
