King’s Cross is witnessing a dramatic transformation, with a new city rising above, alongside and within some of the country’s most compelling railway heritage. While the former Railway Lands remain extraordinarily rich in historical features, those who now reside, work, study, dine or play in this new world will find their origins hard to decipher. The arrival of the Regent’s Canal and the Great Northern Railway, with its goods depot, locomotive sheds, coal yards and stables, served the needs of the ever-growing metropolis. After the demise of steam, the decaying industrial landscape was colonised by new enterprise, contested by developers and the community, and captured by artists and photographers. Peter Darley unfolds the story over the last 200 years. AUTHOR: Peter Darley is a retired consulting engineer and economist who became fascinated by his local railway heritage, since when he founded a charitable trust and a railway heritage trail, led guided walks and published a pocket trail guide to create income for the Trust, built up a list of some 500 supporters of CRHT and wrote a quarterly newsletter, and developed a CRHT website. He has written widely on his subject. 240 b/w illustrations
Author Biography
PETER DARLEY is the founder of Camden Railway Heritage Trust (CRHT). CRHT has been instrumental in raising the profile of Camden Goods Station, notably Stephenson’s stationary winding engine vaults but also other historical features. The area has become one of the most significant for railway heritage in the country. Peter now writes and speaks on both Camden’s railway heritage and on the Victorian working horse. He created a railway heritage trail and illustrated guide as a first step towards opening more of the heritage to the public.
