Légende

The Charing-Cross Railway: temporary entrance to the station from Villiers-Street, [London], 1864. 'The temporary entrance to the station will hereafter serve only for empty cabs, which will by this way pass up towards the arrival-platform, on the western side, near where the Custom-house officials will be in readiness to examine luggage brought by the Continental trains. The cab-rank is now stationed beneath the first archway seen after entering the temporary inclosure. Passing by the rank, and under a shed to protect from the weather, we...[next] enter the tunnel-like roadway used for passengers, which we have named, perhaps too untechnically, the tunnel entrance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
