| | | | | Object of the Month | | Acton station garden, 1922 | | Today, Acton is home to the Museum Depot, but back in 1922 this is what Acton Town Underground station would have looked like to travellers arriving on the westbound platform. Our Object of the Month is this photo showing a station staff member standing in their elaborate planned station garden, which won fourth prize in that year’s District Railway station gardens competition. |  | |
