St Ann's Road railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Ann's Road railway station was opened by the Tottenham & Hampstead Junction Railway on 2 October 1882. It was located at the corner of St Ann's Road and Seven Sisters Road in N15, in south west Tottenham, London.
It comprised two wooden platforms, accessed by means of a footbridge and stairs, and a brick building.
Trains from the station generally ran between St Pancras or Kentish Town to Barking or Southend, however over its history trains ran to a number of other locations including Cambridge, Chingford and Victoria.[1]
It was never well used, mainly due to its close proximity to South Tottenham and Seven Sisters railway stations, the latter of which provided much faster links to The City. The station was closed on 9 August 1942 as a wartime austerity measure and never reopened. At the time of writing the station building survives and is in use as a newsagent.
