First and Quirky Kings Cross and St Pancras

November 18 @ 11:00 - 13:00

This walk is held on the 39th anniversary of the Kings Cross Disaster and will cover a visit to the plaque to remember those that lost their lives on that terrible night and we see how things have changed
A visit around the recently regenerated railway lands. The walk consists of some very interesting ‘firsts’, a lot are transport based, but also about the contrast in the life styles of the inhabitants. The area has recently undergone a massive transformation and is very much a ‘destination’ with so many new companies moving into the area. It is also a walk about the lives of the poor as well as the home of some iconic inventions and well-known traditions. We visit the old coal drops yard, now completely transformed and St Pancras Old Church graveyard, which includes John Soanes grave the inspiration for the telephone box
