The Old Kings Cross Station Is Nearly Down

The dreaded 1973 extension to Kings Cross station is being finally demolished this Christmas, as there are no trains and passengers.

There are some good pictures here on the BBC of the history of the front of the station.

It is intended that the new public square in front of the station will open in August 2013.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
