The Monopoly board – I have set myself a challenge to photograph something for each space and load it into this set. I doubt they will be uploaded in order and it might take some time!

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.
The design is magnificent in its simplicity, being based on two great arched train sheds, with a brick structure at the south end designed to reflect the main arches behind.
In recent years King’s Cross has been transformed with new entrances, more space and better facilities. Work started in 2007, the stunning new Western Concourse opened in 2012, and the original Victorian entrance was restored and opened in 2013 and the horrible screen canopy to the front was removed

Kings Cross underground - I guess the refurbishment money ran out
