Description: Exit from Uxbridge Underground Station, High Street, Uxbridge. The station in its present form was opened in 1938 to an art deco design by Charles Holden. The front of the station can be seen here 1779400 The stained glass panels are not usually seen other than in places of worship and add colour to the otherwise rather dour reinforced concrete structure. From wiki: "The stained glass panels at the booking hall end of the platforms reflect the area's heraldic associations. The crown and three seaxes on a red background are the arms of Middlesex County Council and the chained swan on a black and red background is associated with Buckinghamshire. The centre shield is possibly the arms of the local Basset family; a downward pointing red triangle on a gold background was borrowed from the Bassett arms for use on the arms of Uxbridge Urban District Council in 1948."
