The Metropolitan Cattle Market opened in 1855 to replace Smithfield as London's main livestock market. Prior to that, it was known as Copenhagen Fields. On 21st April 1834, 100,000 people gathered here in support of the Tolpuddle martyrs. The cattle market closed in 1939. The original railings of the cattle market can still be seen here. The sale of meat ended in the 1960s. The market buildings were then mostly demolished, council housing, principally the Market Estate, was built over much of the site, and the remainder converted to Caledonian Park with its imposing clock tower - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7015823 A very full and interesting history can be seen at https://alondoninheritance.com/london-monuments/caledonian-park-history-murals-and-a-fire/

At the time that this stretch of the Piccadilly Line was built, as one of the early deep-level tubes, a visual and conceptual grammar of signage was still being worked out by the companies involved. Caledonian Road enshrines an experiment that did not catch on, signs pointing towards the then-termini to indicate which direction a particular platform's trains would be going.

There were once four impressive pubs on the corners of what was the Metropolitan Cattle Market and is now Caledonian Park. The north-east, north-west and south-east ones survive but none of them are now pubs. The three surviving buildings were the White Horse, The Lamb, and The Lion. This was the south-east one on the corner of Market Road. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7015823 and https://alondoninheritance.com/london-monuments/caledonian-park-history-murals-and-a-fire/
