King’s Cross Railway Lands through 20C artists’ eyes: an appreciation of our industrial heritage: an illustrated talk by Peter Darley

  • Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre, Holborn Library 32-38 Theobalds Road London, WC1X 8PA UK (map)

The demolition and increasing dereliction of the Railway Lands after the mid-1960s created a wasteland that was a reminder of industrial decline as well as both a threat and an opportunity for neighbouring communities. Artists felt the power and saw the beauty in the industrial ruins, as Peter Darley will illustrate in his talk.

Peter Darley is Secretary of the Camden Railway Heritage Trust, which he founded in 2007.

Admission: Free to CHS members. Non-members welcome (£2 at the door).
