Description
Elevated view of The Adam and Eve public house and Warren Street Station, looking west along Euston Road in the former Metropolitan Borough of St Pancras. View across the junction with Hampstead Road on the right, and Tottenham Court Road on the left. The Ind Coope brewery brick-built pub is heavily architecturally embellished with carved brick arches with moulded stucco keystones above sash windows, rope twist and moulded bands at mid-storey height, and a French window at the corner with a carved stone balcony. A pediment above bracketed window cills, and ocular dormer windows, with moulded arches above, and a bracketed cornice below. Warren Street station was designed by Leslie Green and later refurbished by William Holden. Located at the end of a terrace of six-storey offices, it has a semi-circular entrance with semi-octagonal canopy, two-storeys of offices above, and is rendered up to second-floor level with exposed brick above. Shops visible in Hampstead Road include 'Maynards' with Petsa ladies hair stylist above, 'Achille Serre', dry cleaners, and Etam, lingerie store. Further along Euston Road, shops include a branch of Boots, chemists, Buck and Ryan, tool merchants at 310 to 312, and 'The House of Janus', on the opposite side. Great Portland Street station is visible in the distance. The ashlar-banded building, on the immediate right next to a pillar box, is a branch of National Westminster Bank Ltd. Traffic, seen during the operation of Minister of Transport, Ernest Marples' new 'Pink Zone' parking scheme of 1961, includes a GEC Commer MK 1 QX 5 ton van, an Austin A40 Farina, a Humber Hawk, a Morris Minor (6cwt) van, an Austin A30 van, a Ford Zephyr Mk II, a Morris J type van, a Bedford CA van, a Rover P4 saloon, Austin FX3 and FX4 taxis, a bicycle with a saddlebag parked at the kerbside, and many more cars, vans, trucks and double-decker AEC RT buses, directed at the light-controlled junction by a policeman. Numerous pedestrians can be seen, walking along the pavements and crossing at the traffic lights. A ladder and scaffold tower can be seen beneath the station's 'Underground' sign.
