What is it with London and their forgotten posters? Reno work at the Notting Hill Gate Tube station uncovered these mid-1950s posters in an abandoned hallway leading to the old elevator shafts (which were replaced with escalators in 1956-59). The vivid colors and sharp graphics contrasted with the grit and grime make this even more of a delightful find.For more images, click here. Note from photographer Mike Ashworth: “We will be leaving these intact – and please do not pester the station staff as the posters are wholly inaccessible – which is why they’ve probably survived 50 odd years!”
