Unit 1 (W3): Methods of investigatinggggg

Contextualisation: Investigating Maida Vale Tube Station, and its Bakerloo line

Finally, further research could be done about the station, which could contextualise its design and, perhaps, our perception too.

• Baker Street & Waterloo Railway = Baker – Loo
• MV opened in 1915, as the first Underground station to have an all-female workforce  
• Maintained its original architecture by Leslie Green (terracotta tiles, mosaic, etc.)
• Sounds of MV as a direct result of its architecture (original tunnel material; rail beds etc.)
• Money as a factor for loudness; old rails
