Loughton Underground Station

Notable for its cantilevered concrete roof, Loughton underground station was designed by John Murray Easton of the firm Hall, Easton and Robertson and was opened in April 1940. Due to wartime conditions, certain design aspects of the original design, like ceiling tiles, were never installed.

The single storey building is steel framed, and the external ceiling lights in the entrance canopy are still the originals from 1940. Other surviving features include platform benches with bronze arm rests, the standard clock with Roman numerals, and timber and bronze poster boards.

Radical Essex is a project re-examining the county in relation to radicalism in thought, lifestyle, politics and architecture. A programme of events will take place across Essex throughout 2016 and 2017, shedding light on the vibrant, pioneering thinking of the late 19th and 20th centuries. The project will celebrate the crucial role Essex has played in the history of British Modernism and its utopian ideologies under the themes ‘The Modernist County’ and ‘Arcadia for All’.

The Radical Essex site is designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio and Alex Rich, developed by Twelve.

Radical Essex is led by Focal Point Gallery in collaboration with Visit Essex and Firstsite. Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England it forms part of the country wide Cultural Destinations programme, a partnership with VisitEngland, supporting arts organisations to work with the tourism sector to deliver projects that maximise the impact culture has on local economies.
