Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by King's Cross Central General Partner Ltd to undertake building recording of the Midland Goods Shed, King's Cross, London, centred on OS NGR TQ 3024 8356. The building lies in the Regent's Canal Conservation Area. Although within the curtilage of the Grade II listed Granary, it is not described in the listing citation. A major regeneration scheme has been proposed for the King's Cross area. Outline Planning Permission for the scheme has been granted subject to certain conditions, one of which requires a programme of building recording. Outline planning consent has been granted for its refurbishment and reuse and recording was carried out in 2008 in accordance with English Heritage's Level 4. It was constructed in 1850 as a carriage shed and converted into the Midland Railway Goods Shed in 1858 with the creation of new openings. In 1862 use of the building returned to the GNR. In 1869 Kilners were granted a lease for use of part of the shed as a bottle warehouse. Some openings were infilled and a first floor was added. The accumulator tower was added in c.1878. In 1915 the shed was converted back to goods shed use. The roof was replaced in 1957. From the 1960s the building was used as a warehouse. Two storeys of the offices at the south end of the building had been built by 1871. A third storey was added in 1875. The offices retain many 19th and early 20th century fixtures and fittings. |
