KING’S CROSS CENTRAL. And on, to ST.PANCRAS OLD CHURCH and ST.PANCRAS HOSPITAL


KING’S CROSS?. ST.PANCRAS?
The area known as King’s Cross got its name from a statue of King George IV erected at the crossroads outside the station. The monument itself was short lived, being completed in 1836 and demolished in 1845, but the area retained the name.
St. Pancras is a historic area in London, encompassing both an ancient parish and a former metropolitan borough. It's now largely part of the London Borough of Camden. The area is known for St. Pancras Old Church, one of the oldest religious sites in England, and St. Pancras New Church. St. Pancras is also associated with St. Pancras railway station, a major London terminus
Welcome to KING’S CROSS CENTRAL
The site is owned and controlled by the King's Cross Central Limited Partnership. It consists of approximately 67 acres (27 ha) of former railway lands to the north of King's Cross and St Pancras mainline railway stations. The site is largely determined by three boundaries: the existing East Coast Main Line railway leading out of King's Cross; York Way, a road marking the division between Camden and Islington boroughs; and the new railway line, High Speed 1 (HS1), formerly known as the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, which curves around the site to the north and west.
Farmland. A battleground (Romans vs. Iceni)?
REGENT’S CANAL (1820s): terraced housing, industries, gasworks
RAILWAYS. Goods stations/Passenger termini
MARKETS and COAL. Reuse of the former temporary GNR station as a potato goods shed, part of the larger local wholesale potato market. The company also added the Eastern coal drops (1851), and the later Western coal drops (1860), allowing coal shipments from the Northeast and the Midlands to be distributed around London by the canal network, and later by road.
DECLINE. The area declined from being a poor but busy industrial and distribution services district to a partially abandoned post-industrial district. By the 1980s it was notorious for prostitution and drug abuse. This reputation impeded attempts to revive the area utilising the large amount of land available
REDEVELOPMENT. A high density development, in a a brownfield site (i.e. had past industrial use). Buildings at KXC range from one storey to 19 storeys. Protected views of St Paul's from Parliament Hill and Kenwood House have not been affected.
At least a third of the site (25 acres/10 hectares) has been dedicated to new public routes and privately owned open spaces. Five of these are major new squares - Granary Square, Station Square, Pancras Square, Cubitt Square, and North Square - which together total 8 acres (3.2 ha).
In addition, the proposals include 6.5 acres (2.6 ha) of new public realm along the Regent's Canal, the Gas Holders Zone and Coal Drops Yard and within a new "Cubitt Park”.
CONTROVERSY: It has ben found that "people with a history of mental health problems are being excluded from the social housing built there while the developers and local council have also set quotas for the number of homeless and unemployed people"
Argent's planning permission agreement with Camden Borough council included a commitment to provide 750 affordable units in the 1,946 constructed.
2019 Madhumita Murgia reported in the Financial Times that Argent was using facial recognition software in the King's Cross Central area of London.
Handyside St.
Handyside Street at King's Cross is named after John Handyside, a Victorian engineer who played a key role in solving problems related to running trains on gradients. He was instrumental in developing the systems for efficient railway operations.The area surrounding Handyside Street, including Handyside Gardens, is a testament to his contributions to railway engineering.

Former GERMAN GYMNASIUM, now a restaurant
The first purpose built Gym in London, an initiative of the GERMAN GYMNASTICS SOCIETY, established in 1861, by ERNST RAVENSTEIN. And very influential in the development of British athletics. The NATIONAL OLYMPIAN ASSOCIATION held its games from 1866 and continued to do so until the OLYMPIC GAMES held in WHITE CITY, in 1908.
The Gymnasium was also a pioneer in women’s fitness, offering classes for women long before it was culturally accepted in London.
As you sit in the first-floor restaurant or sip cocktails at the Meister Bar, you’re in the same spot where spectators once watched athletes perform these unusual sports. Look up and you’ll see the original hooks used for rope climbing and other aerial feats.
Part of the building had to be rebuilt after the impact of a bomb in 1917 (ZEPPELIN RAID)
The building was originally larger, with the grand entrance on PANCRAS ROAD. And it contained reading room and club room.
The building ceased to be a gym sometimes before the WW1, and became storage space and offices, then arts and exhibition space
STANLEY BUILDINGS. Victorian Social Housing
B. 1864-65 by the IMPROVED INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS COMPANY for KC workers. Originally 4, finally 2 self contained flats for floor. Roofs for clothes drying and children playing. Originally 5 blocks, housing 104 families. An early example of use of concrete, reducing the risk of fire. Now used for offices and meeting rooms.
GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL, restored
Opened in 1854 for the use of the GNR patrons. The curved SW façade reflects the original alignment of OLD ST.PANCRAS ROAD,
The grand entrance faced the station, and was enclosed within a gated area that also incorporated ornamental gardens. In the 80s an hydraulic lift was added.
KING’S CROSS Station

ST.PANCRAS Station
Poet, Sir John Betjeman led a campaign to save St. Pancras Station and the Chambers from demolition in the 1960's. In tribute to the famous poet and railway enthusiast an 8.5ft sculpture by Martin Jenningshas been designed to celebrate the man and his poetry.
Did you know that Sir John's coat-tail was designed to emulate the shape of the station's Barlow train shed roof?

SOMERSTOWN BRIDGE to Camley St.
THE COAL DROPS

1850s-60s. Built to transfer coal from railway wagons into storage hoppers, and from here loaded into road carts. Originally 4 high level railway tracks were carried by the brick and cast iron structure.
During the 20th c.used for storage. Then in the 90s, studios, workshops and night clubs.
Raves
In 1986 the rave scene started in the UK. Disused warehouses were used to stage illegal raves, a form of partying fuelled by high repetitive beat House Music and the illicit drug ecstasy. The scene developed and spawned several legal clubs such as The Fridge, The Clink, Shoom and Heaven and by the early-to-mid 1990s incorporated three iconic venues in King's Cross. Initially there was Billy Reilly's original bar, 'Fabric' under the arches of the Coal Offices (which inspired the name for a successor club opened by Billy's brother Keith in Farringdon, also called Fabric).
Following the granting of a full music licence the venue in the arches reopened as the iconic 'The Cross'. A smaller club after-party' venue opened called 'The Key'. At the southern end of the Eastern Coal Drops building 'Bagley's' opened which took over three floors, and was later renamed as 'Canvas', and survived on and off till 2008. It could accommodate 2500 clubbers on a Saturday night. It was reputed to have had some of London's best DJs. But by 2008 the building had become largely derelict again and finally closed. Both the 2008 financial crisis (which caused a recession) and the ban on smoking indoors were blamed,[7] as well as the general redevelopment plans for the entire site.[8]
Formerly known as the Midland Railway Basin , now ST.PANCRAS BASIN


St Pancras Basin, just above the lock, was opened in 1870 as a coal wharf. Where boaters used to load and unload cargoes of heavy coal is now the site of St Pancras Cruising Club. Below the lock, you can still see the entrance to a disused basin and the former lock keeper's cottage.
On 8 December 1952, London was brought to a standstill for almost five whole days. Public transport effectively ceased, and in most areas of London visibility was only a few yards. There were over 4,500 deaths that week. The reason for this chaos was smog. The city had previously experienced bad fogs but the Guardian newspaper at the time called it ‘the worst fog for many years’. The actual number of deaths is likely to have been higher because the smog exacerbated the illnesses of those who had existing respiratory diseases. The events of that week in December 1952 finally forced the government to act against smoke pollution in the United Kingdom. The result was the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1956. While the “Great Smog” of 1952 must be seen as a tipping point it was actually the last in a long series of events and changing attitudes towards smoke pollution in which the public and the government alike came to see it as a problem with which the nation had to deal.
In Victorian homes, coal was the primary fuel source for heating and cooking. Coal was often delivered in sacks and stored in a cellar or basement,
In older English homes, a coal cellar, also sometimes called a coal hole, was a designated space, usually underground, for storing coal. These spaces were common during the period when coal was a primary fuel for domestic heating, from the early 19th to mid-20th centuries. Coal cellars were often located under the stairs or in a dedicated area of the basement
Former WATER TOWER
Originally used to refill steam locomotives at St Pancras station with water. The Victorian Gothic brick structure, designed by the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott, who was also responsible for the Midland Grand Hotel at Pancras station, around 1868. The design included a chimney which was simply a design element and not functional. The building is approximately 9m by 6m and is three stories high with the top containing a cast iron tank capable of holding 68 cubic metres of water.
With the enlargement of St Pancras to accommodate International Eurostar services the WaterPoint needed to be moved to make space. In November 2001, following 3 years of planning, it was relocated a few hundred metres from its original location to its present locations

More about CHP Plants in London
Buildings at King’s Cross are connected to the Energy Centre through a network of pipes distributing heating and hot water directly into homes, offices, shops and restaurants. This is a very energy-efficient way to heat the buildings and it means that there is no need for conventional boilers in the buildings themselves.

In the 19th c, the railways and industrialisation ate through everything, creating: railway lines, slums, wharves, coal depots.
WILLIAM AGAR bought the manor in 1810. His manor was linked to the workhouse by a line of Poplar trees. He received a handsome compensation for the construction of the REGENT’S CANAL, after legal and forceful opposition. And then, he sold the rest to IMPERIAL GAS.

He owned a printing and bookshop, and set up the SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING ANTICHRISTIAN AND GENERAL INSTRUCTION, and formed a COMMUNE run according to to ROBERT OWEN principles. Small plots of land were sold to poor people (radical tradesmen were attracted) , who built their own cottages, and shared the farming land (Co-operative, against alienation and exploitation). Christian missionaries fought against the philosophical principles, sanitary inspectors found filthy conditions…
The experiment was wound up with the advent of GNR and NLL. Then, horse slaughtering.
COPENHAGUEN
Fields covered most parts of BARNSBURY. The manor c.1620 received a visit by the KING OF DENMARK(?). Afterwards, in the 1750s, TEA GARDENS (skittles, fives) and centre of (questionable) entertainment: bear-baiting, dog fighting, pigeon shooting, races, boing, wrestling,.. Well, and cricket!.

(1855 Parliament moved London's livestock market to this site in Islington. Later, Smithfield acquired a new role: it was rebuilt as a dead meat market; the one that stands today. (Before supermarkets, most meat eaten in London was purchased wholesale at Smithfield. Thus by 1895 Smithfield was providing 130 pounds (59 kg) of meat annually "for every man, woman and child within 15 miles of Charing Cross".)

ST.PANCRAS Old Church and churchyard

By some traditions, the church has been a site of Christian worship since AD 314, but as with most parish churches, especially the older ones, there is little documentary or archaeological evidence to allow the first use of the site to be dated. Remnants of medieval features in the building and references in the Domesday Book suggest the site was in use during the Anglo-Saxon period.
In 597, Pope Gregory the Great sent Augustine of Canterbury at the head of a group of 40 monks intending to promote the re-establishment of Christianity in England. Pope Gregory sent Augustine with relics of St Pancras, and the first church Augustine established, was dedicated to St Pancras and located in Canterbury, the capital of the Kingdom of Kent. Some traditions also ascribe the establishment of the St Pancras Old Church, or its dedication to St Pancras, with Augustine's mission and the relics he brought.
When the church was rebuilt in 1847, builders found some evidence of Anglo-Saxon period church activity and some re-used Roman tiles in the walls. They were able to identify that the church building they were replacing was mainly late Tudor with elements of earlier structures incorporated.
The church has a chaplaincy to the nearby St Pancras Hospital
On 11 December 2007 it marked the opening of the nearby St Pancras International station with a bilingual service and a twinning with the Church of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Paris, near the Gare du Nord, Paris.
As a traditional Anglo-Catholic church that rejects the ordination of women as priests and bishops, it receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Fulham (currently Jonathan Baker)
CHURCHYARD
The former nefarious activities of the bodysnatchers pale in comparison to the gargantuan appetite of the Midland Grand Railway when the iron fingers of its all consuming tracks began clawing their way across the turf of this isolated corner of North West London in the mid 1860's, and the mighty bulk of King's Cross Station began to rise, Kraken-like, over the southern boundary of the burial ground.
The Bishop of London, in whose diocese the burial ground was located, began the search for a worthy soul who could retrieve what was left of those bygone citizens whose remains were, inconveniently, standing - or in this case lying - in the path of progress.
The unenviable task was given to Covent Garden architect Arthur Blomfield (1829-1899) who, in addition to being an exponent of the Gothic Revival style of architecture, was also a master at delegation. He assigned the job to his assistant, the young Thomas Hardy (1840 - 1928) - whose literary masterpieces, such as Under The Greenwood Tree, Far From The Madding Crowd, The Mayor Of Casterbridge, Tess Of The d'Urbervilles, and Jude The Obscure were yet to seal his reputation as one of the titans of English literature - and thus, in 1865, Thomas Hardy went to work overseeing the dismantling of many of the churchyard's tombs and the disinterment,

A number of the tombstones were piled together and an ash tree was planted at their centre to create an ever evolving monument, or even art installation, that is now known as "The Hardy Tree", and which is one of the true delights and curiosities of, what is now, a built up district which has long been, very much, an integral part of the ever expanding Metropolis.
Whether Hardy was responsible for the tree that bears his name is unclear
Famous
St Pancras Old Churchyard in London holds the remains of several notable figures, including Mary Wollstonecraft, the author of "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" and mother of Mary Shelley. Other prominent individuals buried there include the sculptor John Flaxman, the architect Sir John Soane, and the composer Johann Christian Bach. The churchyard also contains the graves of the vampire writer John William Polidori, the novelist Kingsley Amis, and the playwright and poet Francis Towneley
Catholic Burials in the churchyard
After the Reformation the isolation and decay of the church made it a tempting resort for Catholics: indeed, it was said that the last bell which tolled for the Mass in England was at St Pancras. St Pancras (and to a lesser degree Paddington Church) were the only places in London where Roman Catholics were permitted to be buried. Among the several Catholics buried in the churchyard was Johann Christian Bach, youngest son of Johann Sebastian Bach. His name was misspelled in the burial register as John Cristian Back.

The BURDETT COUTTS MEMORIAL

This elaborate piece of high Victoriana was designed by George Highton of Brixton in the decorative gothic style and is Grade II listed. It was unveiled in 1879 by Baroness Burdett-Coutts. The memorial is constructed of Portland stone, marble, granite and red Mansfield stone, with extensive mosaic enrichment depicting flowers and the seasons. There are stone animal statues on pedestals at each corner, at least one of which is thought to have been modelled on Baroness Burdett-Coutts' own collie dog.
The spire includes a sundial, relief carvings of St. Pancras (to the west) and St. Giles (to the east), Night and Morning, and a list of those once buried
CHEVALIER D’EON

Diplomat and transvestite. Born Tonnerre, Burgundy, France. Full name: D'Éon de Beaumont, Charles Geneviève Louis Auguste André Timothée, born of the French nobility. Up until 1763 he had a distinguished career as a diplomat, spy and soldier. In London from 1763. As part of his battle to be paid correctly he published his correspondence with the French authorities. The resulting libel case forced him into hiding in female disguise. The negotiations over payments continued and in 1777, some sort of settlement was reached and he attempted to return to France as a man but by this time there were serious doubts as to his true gender and in France he was required to dress as a woman, although he was paid an additional amount for his trousseau. So in 1785 he returned to Brewer Street where he continued life as a woman earning income by giving demonstrations of his fencing skills. He died at 26 New Milman Street where he was living, as a woman, with a woman.

GENERAL PASQUALE PAOLI

Fought to free Corsica from France. Born Corsica. Exiled in London 1770 - 1780 and again 1795 until his death in London. At the Burdett-Coutts memorial, where his name is given as "Paschalis de Paoli of Corsica"
Paoli was idolized by a young Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a Corsican nationalist at the time. The Bonapartes had assisted him during the French invasion but refused to go into exile with him and pledged allegiance to King Louis XV. Paoli saw the Bonapartes as collaborators, and upon regaining power during the French Revolution he tried to prevent Napoleon from returning to his position in the Corsican National Guard. In May 1793, Paolists detained Napoleon on his way to his post (though he was soon released), ransacked his home, and formally outlawed the Bonapartes via the Corsican parliament. These events and others in 1793 accelerated Napoleon's transition from Corsican to French nationalism. Napoleon never fully outgrew his fondness of Paoli, and had mixed feelings about him throughout the rest of his life.[3]
BARONESS BURDETT-COUTTS
One of the great Victorian philanthropists who sought to rid London of its slums. Also one of the richest women in Britain in the mid 19th Century, widely respected for her undying generosity and piety, she was known as the 'Queen of the Poor' and 'Nursing-Mother of the Church of England'. She funded Livingstone's expeditions to Africa, helped set up the NSPCC, closely involved with the RSPCA for many years, was the first woman to be a member of the Royal Society, the first to receive the Freedom of the City of London, the first to be given a peerage on her own merit, in 1871. Died at Stratton House and was buried in Westminster Abbey in honour of her charitable services.
