The New Street on the site of Northumberland House: view from Charing-Cross, [London] 1876. '...view of "Northumberland-avenue," as it is called...taken from near the statue of King Charles I.... The new street was designed and completed by Sir J. W. Bazalgette, C.B., engineer, and Mr. George Vulliamy, architect, for the Metropolitan Board of Works. The contract was let to Messrs. Mowlem and Co., on June 25 last, for the sum of £15,750. This did not, however, include the carriage-way paving, which is of wood, and which has been executed by the Improved Wood-Paving Company, at a cost of about £4500. The money expended in the purchase of property amounts to about £643,754...The South-Eastern Railway Company have now a bill in Parliament by which they propose to extend Charing-cross station up to Northumberland-street...'.
