EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of the Midland Grand Hotel at St. Pancras Station, London, as it stood between the years 1960 and 1972. Taken by renowned photographer John Gay, the image showcases the hotel's impressive mid-century interior design, with a particular focus on the magnificent staircase that dominates the scene. The Midland Grand Hotel, designed by the architect George Gilbert Scott, opened in 1876 and was once considered one of the finest hotels in Europe. The interior of the hotel was known for its opulence, with ornate decorative features, rich colors, and luxurious materials. The staircase, with its intricate wrought-iron balustrades and elegant curved design, is a testament to the Victorian era's grandiose architectural style. Despite the passage of time, the Midland Grand Hotel's interior remained largely unchanged until the late 1960s and early 1970s, when the building underwent extensive renovations. This photograph, taken during this period, offers a unique glimpse into the hotel's history before many of these changes took place. The Midland Grand Hotel at St. Pancras Station is not only an important part of London's architectural heritage but also a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural significance. This photograph by John Gay serves as a reminder of the hotel's past glory and the importance of preserving historical buildings for future generations to enjoy.
