Alfred Hitchcock was born in Leytonstone, Essex (now East London) in 1899. A hundred years later, 17 mosaics were commissioned and installed in the local tube station. Well worth a visit, and only 20 minutes on the Central Line from Liverpool Street Station.
Lovely, and a nice echo of Eduardo Paolozzi's Pop Art (a tad late in 1984) extravaganza mosaic for Tottenham Court Road station further down the Central line.
ReplyDeleteI heard the refit of TCR station might involve the demolition of some panels. Anyone been there lately?
No, not for a while. Hope they haven't tampered with the Six Million Dollar Man.
