West Harrow
The halt-like buildings to the south side platform at West Harrow station, on the LUL Metropolitan Line's Uxbridge branch, on a snowy 22nd January 2013. At this time, this entrance had no mechanical rottweilers (oops! sorry, I meant automatic ticket gates) so passengers were able to enter and exit without having their tickets checked. It is a long time since I've been to West Harrow so I am not sure if this is still the case. There is a new modern entrance on the north side that does have the barriers. The Harrow & Uxbridge Railway, an offshoot of the Metropolitan, was opened on 4th July 1904 but West Harrow station was not opened until 17th November 1913. So 10 months short of its centenary in this photo.
