    [Aside] I never knew this: "The column also had a symbolic importance to Adolf Hitler. If Hitler's plan to invade Britain, Operation Sea Lion, had been successful, he planned to move it to Berlin." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson%27s_Column
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From Trove: A large Irish demonstration in Trafalgar-square demanded the release of 180 Irish prisoners who ara still in gaol, on the ground that their retention was at variance with the spirit of the Irish agreement. Article from The Advocate, Melbourne, 16 Feb 1922, in a longer article about Irish News. Doesn't give the date of the protest.

King's Cross Reconstruction Work

  • mikeyashworth said:
    Hmm, I'm minded to think this may well be earlier - the large scale works to reconstruct the Circle/H&C/Met platforms here was completed in c1936/8 and I suspect this may show that work. Also - trams not trolleybuses as you'd have found post-war. I'll check.
  • JB (KK 69521) said:
    I agree - the buses suggest mid to late 30s, and tram routes round Kings Cross were converted to trolleybus operation in 1938.
