Wall tile - Aldgate East Underground station

I've been commuting to and from here since last June, but have only just noticed the motif tiles scattered rather randomly on the platform walls.


For several of the stations built or reconstructed as part of the 1935 - 38 New Works Programme for London Transport (such as Aldgate East or Bethnal Green) a series of 18 relief tiles were commissioned from Harold Stabler - a designer associated not only with London Transport but also Carter's of Poole - the pottery that made the bulk of the tiles. The designs show images associated with London Transport and the area it served.
