In response to my posts about Liverpool Street Station, I have been sent a photograph of the station, taken apparently in the late 1950s or early 1960s by an amateur photographer called Margaret Gilbert (née Johnson) who was the sister of a friend of the person who sent it to me – and who rightly admires it. It shows the station as it was in another, more sooty era, when the Great Eastern Hotel was black with grime and steam engines billowed smoke into the roof. Very dramatic, as the photograph shows:-
