#TootingHistory – The London Underground map over 100 years ago in 1908! No #Tooting stations are listed, as Tooting Bec and Broadway both opened in 1926 (with Tooting Bec originally named Trinity Road), as part of the Morden extension.

This week we are trekking to one end of the Northern Line and exploring Edgware. The station opened 100 years ago and kickstarted a population boom that saw the town grow into a suburb. Read more on Edgware and its modernist buildings here buff.ly/4gai3hu
