Haverstock Hill station, Lismore Circus

(c.1905)
(2014)

Haverstock Hill station was opened on 13 July 1868 by the Midland Railway (MR) between Finchley Road & St John’s Wood station, at the other end of the Belsize Tunnels, and Kentish Town station on the their new extension of the Midland Main Line into London.

Between 1878 and 1880 it was served by trains running on the Super Outer Circle which was a service operated by the Midland Railway (MR).
As a wartime measure and with falling ticket sales due to improved road transport in inner London the station was closed in January 1916. The station building was damaged by fire in the late 1960s and had to be demolished.

A brick wall can be seen centre left in the bottom photo, this is the back wall of the station building. The small brick structure with a door used to be a staff access point to the track. This is now disused and the steps have been removed.
The area is now occupied by the Lismore Circus housing estate.
