Old photo of an electricar outside Croxley House in Wharfdale Road
My grandad (Henry Price) painted these as he was a signwriter. This was one of his photos. I understand that Croxley House had close connections with the Lion Brand who marketed Basildon Bond paper.

York Road Underground Station
York Road Station, near King's Cross is one of six disused London Underground stations designed by the architect Leslie Green (1875-1908), the others being Aldwych, Brompton Road, Down Street, Euston and South Kentish Town. York Road opened in 1906 and closed in 1932. The ox-blood red faience cladding characterizes Green's stations, and there are about 40 in all.

The (former) York Road tube station, York Way / Bingfield Street, N1 - north side
York Road station, between Kings’ Cross and Caledonian Road stations, opened in December 1906 at the corner of York Road (now York Way) and Bingfield Street. In 1909 the Piccadilly line decided to let some trains pass through some of the lesser-used stations without stopping; these included York Road. Sunday services were withdrawn in 1918 and the station was closed for public use in September 1932. The street level building became derelict, but was renovated in 1989 revealing the station’s name and the entrance and exit signs. With the massive redevelopment in the King’s Cross area, there is a possibility that the station might be re-opened - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Road_tube_station .
