Museum Railway Station, Mark Foy's subway

This tiled wall of the pedestrian subway to Museum Railway station is located directly inside the station entrance that I featured yesterday. Mark Foy's is the name of the department store which was once located in building located above. This building was known as 'The Piazza' but is now known as the Downing Centre, which is used as a court house complex. The name has been retained for this subway and thankfully so has this beautiful tilework.

  5. Love subways, the way they are part of the city but seperate at the same time. Little things like this sign is what gives them this alternative world quality.

  10. I think that sign is just a wee bit more stylish than many modern, bolt on jobs!

    Nice picture.

  13. Museum Station is the most beautiful of all the Sydney Underground stations, and the station master is most cooperative toward photographers - well she was to me a couple of years ago.
