History

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 called the London Overground Mildmay and Windrush lines.

The North London Railway (NLR) company had lines connecting the northern suburbs of London with the East and West India Docks further east. The main east to west route is now part of London Overground's North London Line. Other NLR lines fell into disuse but were later revived as part of the Docklands Light Railway, and London Overground's East London Line. The company was originally called the East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway (E&WID&BJR) from its start in 1850, until 1853. In 1909, it entered into an agreement with the London and North Western Railway which introduced common management, and the NLR was taken over completely by the LNWR in 1922. The LNWR itself became part of the LMS from the start of 1923. The railways were nationalised in 1948 and most LMS lines, including the North London route, then came under the control of the London Midland Region of British Railways.
