There is an excellent double page aerial photograph in today's
Guardian, showing St Pancras, Kings Cross and the tracks of the
channel tunnel link curving away across the corner of the old Top Shed
site.

If you are an Arsenal supporter, the photo even includes the Emirates
Stadium in the distance.


Indeed, it's a great overview of the area, and well worth 70 hard
earned pennies.

What would be fascinating would be to see before and after shots as
well - i.e. the before shot obviously being before any CTRL work
started, and an after shot taken once the whole Kings Cross Central
development has been completed in the old goods yards area.

I haven't spent very much time getting my head around the plans for
the Kings Cross Central development, but it would appear that at least
some of the old goods yard buildings (visible in the Guardian
photograph) will stay and be incorporated into the development.

There's more info at the developers website he
http://kingscross.argentgroup.plc.uk...ric_buildings#

Also details of the planning applications for the development - along
with information about the plans for the 'heritage' structures - can
be found here (though this website may be slightly out of date now):

Lastly the King's Cross Railway Lands Group is a local residents group
that is monitoring the development plans:
