EDITORS COMMENTS
Static Image. This aerial photograph, taken in September 1963, captures a stunning bird's-eye view of Kings Cross Station in London, as it once was before the extensive redevelopment that followed. The image, from the Aerofilms Collection at Historic England, reveals the Midlands Goods Shed, Western Goods Shed, and the surrounding railway lines in intricate detail. Kings Cross Station, a major transport hub in the heart of London, is prominently featured in the photograph. The station's grand architecture, with its red brick buildings and expansive train tracks, is a testament to the era of railway expansion in the early 20th century. The Midlands Goods Shed, located to the north of the main station, is visible with its large, open doors and rows of tracks, indicating the bustling activity that once took place within its walls. To the west of the Midlands Goods Shed lies the Western Goods Shed, which is also evident in the photograph. The shed's long, rectangular shape and rows of tracks are a clear indication of its purpose as a goods depot. The surrounding railway lines, crisscrossing the landscape like a complex web, are a testament to the extensive railway network that connected London to the rest of the country. This photograph offers a unique perspective of Kings Cross Station and its surrounding area during a time when railway transportation was a dominant mode of travel. It serves as an important historical record, allowing us to appreciate the evolution of this iconic London landmark and the changes it has undergone over the decades.
