Underground Advertising Preserved for Eternity
Photo copyright London Underground
I stumbled upon this interesting little collection via a heads up from a friend yesterday. Recent refurbishment work at Notting Hill Gate Underground Station in London unearthed a largely forgotten section of the station covered in perfectly preserved advertising from the 50s. It gives an interesting insight into advertising of yesteryear with a mix of colour and vibrance.
Unfortunately these are inaccessible to the public, and the general plan from the LU workers seems to be that they're just going to seal them back up again and continue with the time capsule status. But perhaps they'll still be fresh in another 50 years.
