The Hidden Posters Of Notting Hill Gate

In around 1959 Notting Hill Tube Station in London, England, underwent modernisation. The old lifts were abandoned and new escalators were installed. The passageways to the lift were sealed off. Recent work at the station has rediscovered these passageways and when they were opened they revealed a marvellous time capsule.

The adverts which were on the walls the day the passageways were sealed off remained and reveal a world long since disappeared.
