London Underground Frederick H Stingemore Map - 1929/30
Map Of London's Underground Railways
London Underground Fred H Stingemore Map - 1929/30
This edition of the Stingemore pocket map has the Central London Railway line in Orange. More space has been used to show the Central area lines and to give more room for the Station names and only a few stations now show the initials of the mainline services from that station. Kennington Station has lost the suffix (New St) and West Acton now has the suffix 'for Hanger Hill'. The reverse of the map is Blue coloured linen, with details of stations for places of interest and theatres. The date of this map is assumed to be 1929 -early 1930 as the piccadilly line extension from Finsbury Park to Cockfosters was still under construction (Wood Green open from 19th September 1932).
Stingemore's work was clever, but its impact was far from earth-shattering: the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), which operated the tube, continued to publish large geographical maps alongside handy pocket-sized copies of his diagram. The man who created the tube map we know today was Harry Beck.
Although hard to find and one of the more collectable hessian backed editions, this map is well thumbed and does have some ink writing to the cover as shown. Pricing and grading commensurate.
