Abandoned railway stations of North London (NLR)

[@johnsharp8632]

Thank you for creating such an important record. The video of the current day scenes will one day be of historic interest in themselves. Your video shows how important it is to retain the alignment of closed railway, such that they can be used again, such as for the DLR and London Overground. More by luck than judgement perhaps.

Well said!

Beutiful Architecture we used to have for our Railways ,not anymore had some great days in the Roundhouse Chalk farm a great venue for live music back in 70 with Punk saw loads there,also the London Overground a Great idea from Red Ken using disused rail lines pity London doesn't have someone like him around today instead of the one we have road blocking without even a consultation. Great vid

Shut up you moron

[@johnbristow8099]

Great video, and I loved the music!

[@johnkavanagh7831]

Suk was Dvorak's pupil and son in law, and he learned well from the master!

I remember visiting Broad Street in its dying days. Unsurprsingly it had an air of depressed resignation and seemed like a hangover from another era even then.

Very grateful for all your hard work you’ve put into this video. It’s a superb record of the NNL I once knew and traveled on. Much appreciated!

[@LondonPower]

Many thanks!

[@tankmicr00man]

Mank thanks for your hard work on this piece, you've made and important record of some of the changes to stations on this line. Excellent.

[@LondonPower]

Thanks you very much have a nice day

[@seanpatrickmccarthy1]

Fascinating. Change is cruel but necessary and relentless.

[@SDR702]

The video is excellent and the music is sublime!

[@philclennell]

Very interesting presentation of this endlessly fascinating line - thank you for sharing. BTW I'm itching to know what the piece of quintet/string orchestra music was!

[@LondonPower]

Josef Suk Serenade, Op 6

[@bertspeggly4428]

Music is very nice and very suitable. Pictures are great too!

[@eattherich9215]

@10:42, that was a beautiful building. @13:33, that is another lovely building. @22:35, that should be 'The bridge I stood on ...'. Thanks for the look back and the classical music made a change from the usual crap.

[@craigthomson3621]

You missed out Newington Road and Balls Pond Station (situated between Canonbury and Mildmay Park) which opened in 1858 and, having being renamed Canonbury for the final months of its life, was resisted to the West (the current Canonbury Station site) in 1870. Further details online.

The pier, the pie shop, and the peep show.. Sadly all swept away

[@mitchellgiffard1978]

Very interesting footage I actually walked across that line between dalston & Shoreditch in 1998 were the were some remains of the track but never knew the London overground would of made use of long after

[@LondonPower]

Realy ? Thats very interesting I like this kind of exploring

[@alanjpoole7274]

Brilliant and thank you. Thank Heavens for the DLR, bring life back into some areas and resurrecting a ot of the old tracks and bridges and stations that would otherwise have completely disappeared.

[@LondonPower]

Me thanks 😊

[@johannusverhoeff4911]

Looks like England went from progress to regress. Such a shame.

[@stickymoan]

Been regressing for many years now.

[@maurice8607]

Used to visit Broad Street a fair bit. Very very quiet and quite sad to be honest. Loved those stairwells. Haven't been around the old Bishopsgate goods for a good while. Judging by the video, it's changed beyond recognition. Won't go back,that's for sure.

[@LondonPower]

Thanks for sharing

[@punzel]

Great video, some interesting archive photos. Sorry not to have seen the old Victoria Park Station included although there is no trace of it today. The references to Campden Town should be Camden Town.

[@michaelhaywood8262]

Although the line from Broad Street to Dalston closed in 1986 and Broad Street Station was later demolished and the site redeveloped, the line reopened north of Shoreditch in 2010 as part of the East London Line Extension.

[@johnkavanagh7831]

Wonderful video! Thank you very much. 🙏

[@roadaware2427]

Love the 'then & now' sequences. Shame though that you didn't credit the original sources or even ask them for larger scans so that you didn't end up with such grainy images.

[@srfurley]

7:46 Look at the filth coming out of that thing! In some ways we are definitely better than we were then. Did I miss it, or was Victoria Park not included?

[@simonbiggs9102]

brilliant episode

[@007JHS]

Here's lghthearted, but serious question foir you... Which of these abandoned stations 'could' have been the basis of the home that 'Wellington' and 'Boot' of the cartoon strip The Perishers lived in?

[@MichaelBeeny]

Everything in those past times was dull and black with soot mostly from burning coal. These days things are cleaner but the new blot on the landscape is bloody kids scribbling on almost any surface. The railways seem to suffer most of all.

[@juliansadler6263]

The pictures of early American trains at the end are rather inappropriate.

[@LondonPower]

Approved 100% 👍

[@richardwills-woodward]

The only people that try to block filming are people from the Third World. It tells you all you need to know about what they know about their own culture and behaviour, and the ignorance of ours where we can film where we like and what we like. It used to be called a free country. Don't like it, don't come. Damn depressing film. Hoodies and drug smells now. No standards. The architectural decline is palpable.

[@πλούσιομετάλλιο]

Havacaraf and cricket pitch

[@brettdagooner6663]

Although none of the stations are actually in north london

[@stickymoan]

Some of them are.
