I've had a long relationship with Kings Cross. This is where we would catch the overnight sleeper to see relatives in Aberdeen. My Dad would take me up the platform to say hello to the steam engine (yes - I am that old!) before we bedded down to wake up pulling out of Waverley Station.
Its got some great stories: Queen Boadicea buried under platform 5, Harry and Ron on platform 11&3/4 and all built on the site of The Great Dust Heap - the Victorian city dump. I just love the new roof - its a wonderful uplifting piece of architecture. This screen print forms part of Places of Pilgrimage - an exhibition of paintings and prints at Southwell Minster: Preview at 7pm on Friday 11th September and open daily until Sunday 11th October.
