Celebrations are in store this
month for Chorleywood residents
who rely on the tube to travel into
London for both work and play.
OnWednesday,January 9 the London
Underground celebrated its 150th
birthday.
The stretch of line between
Paddington and Farringdon, which was
then the Metropolitan Railway, opened
in 1863 and was the world’s very first
underground railway.
In celebration of the impressive
anniversary, The London Transport
Museum shared a selection of
photographs with My Chorleywood &
Loudwater News showing history of
the village station.
Chorleywood station was built
for the extension to the original
Metropolitan Railway and opened as
“Chorley Wood” on July 8, 1889.
