King’s Cross. From a view taken during its demolition in 1845. |

Description |
The demolition and removal of King’s Cross, St Pancras, London. Demolition of the monument to King George IV, 1845, King's Cross. built in 1830 on a prominent site at the junction of three important roads, Pentonville Road, New Road (later Euston Road) and Gray’s Inn Road. The monument stood sixty feet high supporting at its summit a poor and cheap statue of the king, which added another eleven feet to the instantly unpopular folly. Its octagonal structure contained a camera obscura above and a police station on the ground floor (the building is still inscribed as such). This latter later became a public house, before its popular demolition in 1845. Its chief fame rests on its name, King’s Cross, which has survived the monument as the geographical name for that part of London. |
