DBFrom Swinton Street, looking northwards towards King's Cross, over the Metropolitan Line cutting. The brick shaft in the centre of the picture ventilates the Thameslink tunnel that runs alongside the cutting. The four tracks constitute the famous 'Widened Lines' between King's Cross and Farringdon. They even have their own Wikipedia entry.
That wasteland may look like a bomb site, but it was actually the location of an engineering works that was still on the map in 1953. It is now the Britannia Street Car Park [pic2] presumably until the developers decide it is time to leak some more units into the housing market. #london #metropolitanline #thameslink #britanniastreet #swintonstreet #kingscross
