Yes the back drop is the map of "The Tube" as it is today, and yes we've provided a link to the tube.com,
but this particular page isn't just about the tube, it's also about other undergrounds in and around London, a secret history
, as it were, of England's capital
The look we're taking at the tube is of a bit of skewed one, we think, stations and lines that have been abandoned, and
some brief historical notes on the history of tunnels and tunnelling in London. We're in the process of gathering some of
the art work, in the form of posters, that adorned the underground stations, particularly in the thirties,
a brief aside here, in some of the abandoned stations, that self same art work is still there, dusty, a bit torn, but still
visible.
