   HISTORICAL NOTE: this station was opened in December 1870,
   replacing an earlier station of 1850 on a different site. It
   is the only survivor of the Italianate brick station buildings
   erected in the 1870s along the North London Railway to replace
   the original wooden buildings of the line, and one of the few
   suburban stations of the period to survive in London. The
   extent of the ancillary buildings along Bonny Street suggests
   that this was a busy station of some prominence. Renamed
   Camden Road station in 1950, the station was refurbished in
   1984 by British Railways and the Greater London Council.
