Sudbury
Town Station. 28th June
1903. Between Alperton and Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line. Built by
the Metropolitan District Railway on their
Yerkes inspired electric service of Ealing to South Harrow. Opened
with a corrugated
iron hut om the up side. Nothing at all in the area – the village, as much as
it existed, was half a mile away. In 1931 it was rebuilt in a restrained, functional style, graceful & proper, of
Buckinghamshire brick & concrete. As
one of the first Piccadilly line stations to be rebuilt it was selected as the
prototype for the new generation of stations in a restrained functional
style. Charles Holden, called the style 'a brick box
with a concrete lid? Some of the original station signage uses
a variation of the standard London Underground Johnston typeface with
small serifs. This
'petit-serif' typeface was developed by Holden with Percy Delf Smith
