Constructing Golders Green station (1906)
Taken from atop the tunnel entrance, it’s interesting to see the development in anticipation of the station. Most of the other pre-opening shots from just a year before show a rural crossroads.

The map shows two now-defunct airfields.
London Aerodrome (Hendon Aerodrome) became RAF Hendon before closing in the 1950s. The area became Grahame Park.
Stag Lane was a private aerodrome between 1915 and 1933, later sold for housing development.

Stockwell station (1930)
Policeman on duty. I had to learn those police signals in the Highway Code and (in theory) could have been quizzed on them during the driving test. I’m sure they don’t exist now in the same way
