King's Cross Reconstruction Work

from The National Archives UK

• 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.

Carts, crowds, containers, causing confusion.

• beachcomber australia said:

  "... On 16 November 1898, Harrods debuted England's first "moving staircase" (escalator) in their Brompton Road stores; the device was actually a woven leather conveyor belt-like unit with a mahogany and "silver plate-glass" balustrade.[22] Nervous customers were offered brandy at the top to revive them after their 'ordeal'. ..."

  beachcomber australia A "moving staircase" is impressive, I grant you. But did they have a "movable boudoir"? I think not!

• Suck Diesel said:

  Looks c. 1880

• beachcomber australia said:

  From the surrounding photos, it looks like 22 June 1897, Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Jubilee_of_Queen_Victoria
  
  Didn't we go there with the Dillons previously ?
  
  Or not?
  
  Edit - Dillons in 1897 -

  beachcomber australia I know I have said it before but I will say it again here, Trove is an excellent resource, Australia is lucky to have it!

• beachcomber australia said:

  National Library of Ireland on The Commons It certainly is! Often amazed at the information available 'as if it happened yesterday'. And it is freely available all over the world.
