Hampton Close, LONDON, N11 3PR

The Great Northern Railway opened its line between Maiden Lane and Peterborough on 7th August 1850 on which date what is now New Southgate station opened as Colney Hatch station. The station was provided for the benefit of the Second Middlesex County Asylum being built at Colney Hatch at that time. The name subsequently changed to Southgate and Colney Hatch on 1st February 1855; to New Southgate and Colney Hatch on 1st October 1876; to New Southgate for Colney Hatch on 1st March 1883; to New Southgate and Friern Barnet on 1st May 1923; and finally to New Southgate on 18th March 1971. This view is of the down slow platform where a train for Welwyn North is about to leave. The fast lines are to the right, beyond the railings.

Opened in 1850 as 'Colney Hatch' by the Great Northern Railway on its line from London Kings Cross to Stevenage, various name changes ensued over the following years. It took the name New Southgate in 1971. View north towards Oakleigh Park and Stevenage before a lot of railings were installed. See Image] for a similar view eight years later.

It took the name New Southgate in 1971. View north towards Oakleigh Park and Stevenage from a similar position to Image] some eight years earlier. As can be seen, a lot of railings have appeared in the meantime.

A system of mirrors on the footbridge at New Southgate station allows passengers to see people coming the other way and fare dodgers to check for ticket inspectors;-)

Long since closed to road traffic and generally negelcted, this was the original access to the station on the west side of the line and possibly served a small gas works located further down the hill as well. Behind the wall, through a gap in which a late morning commuter is walking, is Princes Park Manor, the one-time Colney Hatch asylum. The road that is visible through the gap is Regal Drive.

This view is looking north from near the end of the down slow platform. The fast lines are to the right, beyond the railings. The bridge ahead carries Friern Barnet Road over the four lines. The next station in this direction is Oakleigh Park - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2529502
