1867 Extension Kings Midland Pancras Railways Terminus
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1867, showcases the Works of the Midland Railway near Kings Cross, a significant transportation milestone in London's history. The image captures the grandeur and intricacy of the railway's engineering marvels, with a focus on the wooden bridge and the impressive railway terminus. The bridge, with its delicate arches and intricate wooden planks, spans over the railway tracks, providing a connection between the two sides of the railway. The bridge's design, a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, allowed for the smooth flow of trains and pedestrian traffic. In the background, the Midland Railway terminus at Kings Cross stands proudly, an extension of the railway network that would eventually connect London to the Midlands and beyond. The terminus, with its imposing red brick facade and ornate details, is a sight to behold. The large, arched windows and the intricate roof structure add to the grandeur of the building, making it a symbol of progress and innovation. The construction of the railway extension, which began in the late 1850s, revolutionized the way people traveled, making it faster and more convenient to move goods and people between London and the Midlands. The railway also brought about significant economic growth in the region, making it an essential part of the transportation infrastructure of the time. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Midland Railway was a symbol of progress and innovation, and the bridge and terminus at Kings Cross were the gateway to new opportunities and adventures.
