EPW018755 ENGLAND (1927). Harrow-on-the-Hill Railway Station, Harrow, 1927

The Met had quadrupled up-to but not including Harrow. The track layout is the same in 1935. The Met also continued loco change overs with several occurring at Harrow in a day. (1933 WTT)

Yes indeed, it was the Greenhill Laundry which was actually in St Ann's Road.

It certainly is Somertons and it was Harrow's first department store, it pre-dates Sopers.

Yes, quite Correct this is Adams Furniture Store.

Originally an early Harrow picture house (The Empire)

I remember a time during the '70s when this pub had been renamed 'The Gateway'. It eventually reverted to its former name. Opposite it in St Anns Road was a a rather plain 1960s vintage, glass-fronted building, which housed offices of S S White, a dental equipment manufacturer and supplier.

A few years ago, Harrow Council spent an inordinate amount of time (and money) remodelling this small park. The end result is quite rough and ready and you do wonder what they have achieved.

Looks like it. Electrified line, too. There appears to be a coal merchants in the station approach road. With other shops/offices alongside. The proximity of the water tower suggests that this might also have been the loco changeover siding for the down side when Harrow was the loco changeover point from electric to steam on the main line north until 1925.



My guess is that none of the office huts survived survived the rebuilding of Harrow Met station. However, the nearby electricity sub-station building survives.

Not quite. This is an electrical sub-station building. The equipment within is used to convert the alternating current received from the Metropolitan Railway's own power station at Neasden to the direct current required for the traction supply. The building still exists as a sub-station, although now receiving its supply from the grid.

Probably an AEC K-type, which was the last of the open-topped buses designed for the London General Omnibus Company along horse bus lines. One of the reasons that the design of buses in London remained so conservative and old-fashioned (even for the time) is that designs had then to be approved by the London Carriage Office (then a regulatory department of the Metropolitan Police) who had some pretty arcane and ancient ideas about what was or was not permissible.



The K-Type was produced from 1919 and 1926. They had a relatively short working life and were replaced by the more advanced AEC Regent ST-type enclosed body double decker from about 1930 onwards.

The entry below by PuffPuffBuff suggests that the train is T Stock. I don't think so. It has a clerestory roof, so is more likely to be the much older 1904/05 saloon stock which was built for the Metropolitan Railway electrification and was used on the then newly built Uxbridge branch. It appears to be in a three car configuration.



The third unit does not appear to have a clerestory roof, but it was common practice at about this time to run trains of mixed (compatible) stock. The third unit is probably 1913 or 1921 stock.



A single trailer unit of 1904/05 stock still exists at the Acton Depot of the London Transport Museum, where it is awaiting restoration.

Definitely not T-Stock! As said a mix of 1904 Motors and trailers.. An off peak operation. Are they still semaphores on the City side of the road bridge?
