EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Removal of Kings Cross, London, 1845," captures a significant moment in the history of the iconic Kings Cross area in London. The image shows the meticulous process of dismantling and removing the old Kings Cross building, which once served as a multi-purpose structure for the community. The building, located at the intersection of Pentonville Road and Euston Road, was a popular exhibition hall, a police station, and even a beer shop. The historical significance of this structure dates back to the early 19th century, making it an essential part of London's rich history. The engraving depicts the intricate process of dismantling the building, with workers carefully taking down each piece, numbering them, and preparing them for transportation. The image also shows the large crowds that gathered to witness the spectacle, adding to the sense of community and tradition. The old Kings Cross building was replaced by the new Kings Cross Station, which opened in 1852. The station, designed by Lewis Cubitt, became a major transport hub and a symbol of the industrial revolution in London. However, the removal of the old building marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. This engraving, published by ILN (Illustrated London News) on February 7, 1845, provides a unique glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the history of Kings Cross and the changing face of London. The image is a valuable historical document, showcasing the meticulous process of dismantling a significant building and the sense of community that surrounded such an event.
