From the Wikipedia page [1] St. Quintin Park and Wormwood Scrubs railway station, sometimes known simply as "Wormwood Scrubs station", was a station situated in North Pole Road, North Kensington on the West London Line. The station, constructed mostly of wood, opened on 1 August 1871, was moved a very short distance to the north in 1893, retaining its name, and closed in 1940 after wartime bomb damage.
