Preserving Bounds Green station
Bounds Green tube station was opened on 19th September 1932 and was designed by architect C. H. James in the “Box-style” of his colleague Charles Holden. The station is a well-preserved example of the modernist house style used by London Transport in the 1930s (and credit to London Transport in its various incarnations over the years to have kept these features well-preserved).
In other words – it’s a great piece of our architectural heritage which deserve protecting.
John Oakes is one of the Bounds Green councillors and puts it well:
“Bounds Green station is a beautiful example of the art-deco design style of the 1930s adopted by London Transport. It has cheerfully decorated the Bounds Green landscape for well for over seventy years and I believe it deserves listed status due to its iconic character. I hope English Heritage agrees with me and that we can take the listing process forward.”
John has therefore written to English Heritage asking them to give the station listed building status. Fingers crossed!
