Globe Road railway station, sometimes called Globe Road and Devonshire Street railway station was a station on the site on the main line into Liverpool Street station. It was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 1 July 1884,[1] close to the site of Devonshire Street railway station, which had closed in 1843.
Competition from Stepney Green tube station on the District line and wartime constraints led its closure on 22 May 1916[1] and it never re-opened. At that time many inner London stations were closed, including two nearby stations on the line, Bishopsgate (low level) and Coborn Road, there are now none between Liverpool Street station and Stratford station. Nothing remains of the old station.[2]
