Description: | This colour-illustrated postcard shows the interior of Kings Cross Railway Station. There are trains in the station and passengers on the platform.
The station was designed by architect Lewis Cubitt, opened in 1852, and cost £123,500 to build. The train shed's two vaulted roofs, 105 x 800 feet (32 x 182 metres) were the largest of their type and were supposedly modelled on the riding school of the Czars of Moscow.
King's Cross is the London terminus for the east coast mainline. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Copyright unknown - Collection of London's Transport Museum | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | c1905 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
