Unlike some 'old' stations this one has not disappeared.
Just across the road from the current Highbury and Islington station on the Holloway Road is the the site of one of the original Highbury Station. It frontage looks to be in really good condition and dates back to 1904 when it was built on the underground line between Finsbury Park and Moorgate on the Great Northern a.d City Railway.
The current station was built in the 1960s when the Victoria line was constructed. But this replaced a building originality constructed for the North London Railway built in the 1870s.
