Geocache Description:


 

This cache should be an easy find. It adds to the number of caches in the area hopefully helping make it an atractive place to cache.

Osterley station was opened on 25 March 1934 adjacent to the Great West Road which had been opened in 1925. The station was designed by Stanley Heaps in the modern European style used elsewhere on the Piccadilly line by Charles Holden. The design uses brick, reinforced concrete and large areas of glass and features a brick tower topped with a concrete "obelisk". Osterley station was a replacement for an earlier station, "Osterley & Spring Grove", located about 300m to the east on Thornbury Road, which was closed when Osterley opened. The old station buildings and platforms remain. The station was served from its opening by trains from the District and Piccadilly lines, although District line services were withdrawn on 9 October 1964.

Also worth a visit is the nearby Osterley park
