Скачать или смотреть A railway for the dead in London?!

A railway for the dead? Head over to 121 Westminster Bridge Road and you’ll see the facade of what was once the headquarters of the London Necropolis. The London Necropolis railway was an almost daily service from Waterloo Station to Brookwood Cemetery near Woking, in Surrey, between 1854 and 1941. The service carried up to 2,000 bodies each year to their final resting place. The building also acts as the first-class entrance to the second London Terminus, built in 1902. Built over multiple floors, mourners entered on the ground level before moving upstairs to a waiting room for first and second-class mourners and a smaller hall for third-class grievers. Most of the ground floor was occupied by two mortuaries where bodies were stored until boarding the train. Very, very creepy. #londonxlondon #londonfacts #londonhistory
