Another excellent compilation for which I thank you. I visited the Coal Drops Yard area around King's Cross 2 years ago and was delighted how the area has been transformed, while managing to retaining much of the historic infrastructure. Even the gas holders have been cleverly re-purposed.
Many thanks!
The words, modernise, redevelop, improve and similar send shivers through my spine. The demolition of Broad Street a case in point.
Heroic music to match general decay
13:34 Put that away!!
And what better way to accompany the Necropolis Railway than with 'Black Train' by Scurravagus: it's the Grim Sleeper, and its crew is made up of the Four Railwaymen of the Apocalypse. In short, the Black Train a metaphor for death.... th-cam.com/video/kToZnfWNHgs/w-d-xo.html
