Inside creepy abandoned Tube station after it was sealed for 60 years – hiding an incredible secret
A CREEPY abandoned Tube station that was sealed for 60 years is hiding an incredible secret.
Part of Notting Hill Gate Underground was closed off for redevelopment during the 1950s, with a section still sealed off today.
A corridor connecting train lines which was once bustling with commuters and tourists was rendered useless with the decision being made to keep it shut.
But during routine maintenance a few years ago, decades-old posters were discovered.
While some were adverts for products at the time, others were pieces of art and film billboards.

One colourful advert is for the comedy film Too Many Crooks starring Terry Thomas and up-and-coming actor Sid James which had opened at the now demolished Odeon Marble Arch.
Another is for the hit film Around The World in 80-days starring David Niven, which was still showing two years after opening at the Astoria in 1957.
Film star Alec Guinness also appears in an advert for the 1958 comedy film The Horse's Mouth. He would go on to become Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars 20-years-later.
