1886 Burials Church Yard Pancras Terminus Desecrate
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a poignant moment in the construction of the Rail / St Pancras Built terminus in 1886. As workers toil away to build the new transport hub, they are faced with a delicate challenge - how to avoid desecrating the burials in St Pancras Churchyard.
In this image, we see construction workers carefully navigating around gravestones and burial sites, showing respect for the history and sanctity of the churchyard. Their efforts highlight a thoughtful approach to progress, balancing modern development with reverence for the past.
The scene is a reminder of the intricate relationship between progress and preservation, as well as the importance of honoring those who came before us. It serves as a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of these workers, who not only built a new terminus but also took care to protect and honor the memories of those laid to rest in St Pancras Churchyard.
Through this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Britain's transportation history. The image captures both the physical labor involved in construction and the ethical considerations that guided these workers as they navigated this challenging project.
