I have taken a number of pictures of King's Cross'

frontage over time. It was designed by Lewis Cubitt for the Great Northern Railway and was opened in 1852. Cubitt came from a family of architects who all made their mark on London's skyline during Victorian times. The main feature of the frontage is the superb central clock tower that contained a treble, a tenor and a bass bell, the latter weighing 1 ton 9 cwt (1.47 tonnes). Recent work by Network Rail has really opened up the frontage again after various schemes under BR hid it from view.
