Southbound platform: This station was always
referred to as Castle Road during its construction phase. The decision
to rename it South Kentish Town was taken just before opening by which
time the tiling had been erected. The name panel lettering was almost
certainly painted over and enamelled iron nameboards almost certainly
affixed by the time the first passengers arrived. This station has
concrete lower panels, as explained at Great Central. It closed in
the middle of the day on 5th June 1924 owing to a strike at Lots Road
power station (as did several others) but did not re-open. The tiling
is completely covered in paint and dirt now.
