| 説明 | Grange Hill Underground Station (Central Line), 13 July 2024. The original station at Grange Hill was opened in May 1903 by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on their branch from Ilford to Woodford (on the GER Stratford – Leytonstone – Epping line), called the Fairlop Loop (later the Hainault Loop). It was very similar in style to Chigwell. The line had been speculative, the GER hoping it would stimulate suburban growth. The London Passenger Transport Board’s New Works Programme of 1935 proposed extending the Central Line from its easternmost terminus at Liverpool Street through new tunnels to Stratford and thence (through further tunnels) over the ex-GER, now London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), branch from Leytonstone to Epping and Ongar, and (through further tube tunnels) from Leytonstone to the LNER Hainault Loop at Newbury Park, the LPTB taking over all the LNER lines. The outbreak of WWII put those plans on hold but post-war they were revived. The Central Line service reached Hainault in May 1948 and in November 1948 the Central Line began a Hainault - Woodford service via Grange Hill. The station here had been destroyed by a V1 flying bomb in WWII so a new one was necessary, this being completed in 1949 even though it had opened in November 1948. The LNER had stopped its service in November 1947. The new station was designed by the LPTB’s Assistant Architect Thomas Bilbow. Pictured is the station frontage. |
