The Jubilee Line Extension"The book begins with a foreword by Chief Architect Roland Paoletti, followed by a narrative of the background to the line. Kenneth Powell discusses each station in detail, and there are special sections on service structures and the newly designed station components. This text is accompanied by the specially commissioned photography of Dennis Gilbert, Timothy Soar and E. C. Dixon, in addition to architects' plans and drawings. At the end of the book there is a chapter on tunnelling the line by Bob Mitchell, General Manager of the Jubilee Line Extension Project. This valuable record of an extraordinary building project is an essential publication for architects, engineers, transport enthusiasts and anyone interested in new developments in London."--BOOK JACKET. |
