The Midland Grand Hotel - George Gilbert Scott won the competition in 1865 for the design of a 150 bed hotel for the Midland Railway Company, to be constructed next to its London terminus, St Pancras, which was still under construction at the time. At 300 rooms, Scott's design was much bigger and more expensive than the original specifications. Despite this, the company liked his plans and construction began. Scott's design was for a hotel with five floors below roof level but in the event it was built with four (which remains the case today) to save on construction costs – although the Midland Railway frequently reproduced Scott's original impression, showing the hotel with its non-existent top floor, in its publicity material. The east wing opened on 5 May 1873, with the Midland Railway appointing Herr Etzensberger (formerly of the Victoria Hotel, Venice) as general manager. The hotel was completed in spring 1876. The hotel was expensive, with costly fixtures including a grand staircase, rooms with gold leaf walls and a fireplace in every room. It had many innovative features such as hydraulic lifts, concrete floors, revolving doors and fireproof floor constructions, though none of the rooms had bathrooms, as was the convention of the time. The original hotel closed in 1935. George Gilbert Scott considered this hotel as his most successful project.

Pic shows this spot where a very new LNER A1 Class No 2547 'Doncaster' at Kings dated 1925. You will see that the letters of the LNER are very small and the loco number is also on the tender. This was changed in 1928 when the loco number was repositioned on the cabside enabling the LNER lettering to be increased in size on the tender. The A1 would have been in the Apple Green livery. She was re-built in 1946 to an A3. She was named 'Doncaster' after the 1873 Epsom Derby winner. The engine was withdrawn from service at Grantham in September 1963 and stored at Doncaster before scrapping in October 1963

Pic shows a brand new Peppercorn A1 Class No 60127, the first of the class to appear in the new BR express passenger blue livery with black and white lining plus the early lion and wheel emblem on the tender…the loco entered traffic on May 13th 1949 and later named Wilson Wordsell (after the North Eastern Railway's CME 1890-1910) in September 1950; 60127 wasn't repainting in BR green until March 1952, so this shot clearly predates all that. It was taken from the platform at King Cross near to the signalbox. Also in the shot is LNER B1 Class No 61251 Oliver Bury...'

The Regents Canal. Tracks from Kings Cross tunnel underneath whereas those from St.Pancras bridge over. The reason why you have to climb steps on the Euston Road to reach the latter.
