Kings Cross Station - a photo on Flickriver

            I sincerely hope I'm not boring everyone with these railways Stations captures. The moment I hurt my leg getting off the train in London, it really made it impossible to get around.  

There were so many places I wanted to photograph, but it was just too hard to walk or get around even using the tubes. 

So my apologies, have a brilliant weekend everyone, the weather in Manchester is for a change beautiful. :0)

------------------------------------- 

King’s Cross Station was built as the London hub of the Great Northern Railway. The first temporary passenger station opened in 1850 in the Midland Goods Shed. Among the passengers was Queen Victoria who left for Scotland from here in 1851.

The plans for the station in its current location were first made in 1848 under the direction of George Turnbull. Turnbull engineered the construction of the first 20 miles of the Great Northern Railway out of London. The detailed design was by architect, Lewis Cubitt and the station opened with two platforms in 1852.

The station roof, the largest at the time, was supposedly modelled on the riding school of the Czars of Moscow.
