History

edit

The North London Railway from Dalston Junction to Highbury & Islington was opened on 26 September 1850, although the station was not opened until 1 January 1880.[1] It was closed by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on 1 October 1934.[2] The ticket office that was located on brick columns over the eastbound track was demolished in 1987. Some remnants of the platforms are still visible from what in 2024 were renamed the London Overground Mildmay and Windrush lines.[citation needed]
