1951 Original Vintage HARRY BECK London Underground Transport folding MAP (LTM3/4)

1951 This is an Original Vintage London Underground map produced by London Transport and with the iconic design by HARRY BECK.

The map shows the Metropolitan line extending as far as Aylesbury (the line beyond Amersham was transferred to British Rail in 1961); the District Line spur to South Acton (closed 1959); the Northern Line City section from Old Street to Finsbury Park via Essex Road (closed 1975); the Central Line extension to Ongar is shown as open (built with a discontinuity at Epping - from which point onwards the line was closed in 1994); The Piccadilly Line spur to Aldwych (closed 1994); The line between Baker Street and Stanmore is shown as a branch of the Bakerloo line, as it was until it became part of the Jubilee line upon its opening in 1979. This edition of the Underground map does not show any proposed extensions to lines. The District line to Richmond is shown running diagonally alongside the river instead of vertically

The map is in good condition with 2 folds to make it a pocket map.

Overall size approximately 22.8cm x 15cm.
