EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by John Gay between 1960 and 1972, showcases the stunning exterior of the Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras Station in London. The image focuses on the graceful curve of the south front, which embodies the grandeur and elegance of Victorian architecture. The Midland Grand Hotel, an iconic landmark and a masterpiece of Gothic Revival design, was built between 1868 and 1876 by George Gilbert Scott. The photograph captures the intricate details of the hotel's facade, with its ornate stonework, elaborate ironwork, and decorative arches. The large, arched windows, adorned with intricate tracery, allow the natural light to filter in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The red brick and white stone contrast beautifully, adding to the visual appeal of the building. The photograph also highlights the unique architectural feature of the curve, which was designed to accommodate the railway tracks that run beneath the hotel. This innovative solution allowed for the seamless integration of transportation and hospitality, making St Pancras Station and the Midland Grand Hotel a truly remarkable and historic site. John Gay's photograph not only captures the beauty and grandeur of the Midland Grand Hotel but also transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and architectural significance of this iconic London landmark.
