Moorgate Underground station, London - non-public areas, 2014 - 1930s Lifebuoy Soap poster

            Moorgate station has seen many changes over the years - from the original sub-surface Metropolitan Railway platforms opened in 1865, to the tube platforms of the City & South London Railway (now Northern line) in 1900,  and the 1904 Great Northern & City Railway (now National Rail). Over the years various lift shafts and exchange platforms were constructed, many taken out of use when escalators were introduced.

Seen in the crosspassage way from the Metropolitan's sub-surface platforms down to the Great Northern & City line are some 1920s or '30s posters - this is for Lifebuoy Soap, a Lever brand still on the go.
