A proposed station on the Northern Line between Hampstead and Golders Green. The platforms were built and access shafts but no surface station building.
Name a city in Europe that was under 5 separate and distinct country administrations during the 20th Century.
No - Prague has been within the Austrian Empire and the capital of both Czechoslovakia (including under the Nazis) & the Czech Republic.
I have included a "temporary" administration during WW2 - but it was a real administration as many of the citizens would have known only too well.
Carpathian Ruthenia was part of Austro-Hungary, then Western Ukraine, then Hungary, then Czechoslovakia, then Slovakia, then USSR, then Ukraine.
Sub-Carpathian Ruthenia (or TransCarpathian Ruthenia) was never part of Slovakia - however it seems to have passed through about half a dozen hands (including those dastardly Rumanians) after WW1 and before being annexed by Czechoslovakia, so I suppose it could be argued that it has had at least 5 administrations. It is not the area (or city) that I had in mind though which has a rather more clear-cut history.
I was thinking of Lviv - formerly Lemberg in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Lwow in Poland and under Nazi Germany, Lvov in Soviet Union and Lviv in Ukraine. But I'm sure there are dozens more correct answers - over to you NZ......
It was an interesting question. I didn't realise hoe much change had occurred in what is now western Slovenia. Next question: Which British coin was minted exclusively for use in Malta?
