Mike, Parkland Walk, former Crouch End station
Mike, Parkland Walk, former Crouch End station There were once two stations on the 2.7 miles section of track between Finsbury Park and Highgate that now makes up the Parkland Walk. Nothing remains of Stroud Green (closed 03.07.54) apart from the street-level station master's house. However, at Crouch End (also closed 03.07.54) the platforms are still extant as seen in this view. The platforms are of concrete construction replacing the originals in 1935 as part of London Underground's 'new works plan'. They were built to a compromise height in order to be able to accommodate underground and heavyweight stock for which the line from Highgate to Finsbury Park was to have been used. Mike is seen walking between the platform remains along the former trackbed towards the site of the station buildings. Keywords: Mike Parkland Walk former Crouch End station
