1950s Posters Uncovered in Tube Station
Not Philadelphian, but very cool. Renovations at the Notting Hill Gate tube station uncovered these midcentury posters in an abandoned hallway. The hallway used to lead to elevators, which were replaced with escalators from 1956 to 1959. These signs have been hidden away from sight for fifty years!

Great discovery, absolutely fascinating. Here are a couple more from Leytonstone Underground in East London.
