In this issue: St. Pancras gasholders, new Substack idea, gardening with squirrels.<\/em><\/p>\n

St. Pancras\/King’s Cross gasholders<\/h2>\n

I have recently returned from what I always hope is my annual trip to the UK.<\/p>\n

This time, in addition to seeing as much as I could, I wanted to take photos for my upcoming articles at The Historic Traveler<\/a> website. Since I was asked to write a post on each of my Victorian mysteries, and author-created\u00a0 photos are preferred, I first looked back through my photo collection. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough there.<\/p>\n

An important stop was the new development located behind the St. Pancras and King’s Cross rail stations in London. This area is one I’ve avoided on previous visits. It used to be derelict, with run-down buildings, a place you didn’t go at night. Here’s a view from the air during the 1980s<\/a>.<\/p>\n
