Charing Cross is a station of many names and faces. It has evolved from several Underground stations that have been combined and modified over time into the current form. The story of its development is one of constant change and innovation.
Situated at the point where the Strand and Trafalgar Square meet, the station provides access to an area of London familiar to Londoners and tourists, but few would guess what lies beneath the streets beyond the operational station tunnels.
These photographs, taken in February 2020, showcase the station and tunnels as it turns 40 years old.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
The ventilation shafts at the Leadenhall Building (also known as the Cheesegrater) are amazing! Painted as part of the 2020 London Mural Festival, these steel shafts are still adorned this way today. The painted grilles also show what they are used for - red for releasing hot air from the building, and blue for drawing in cool air.

The ventilation shaft is part of the Kilsby Tunnel, a railway tunnel on the West Coast Main Line in England, near the village of Kilsby in Northamptonshire.
The Kilsby Tunnel was designed and engineered by Robert Stephenson for the London & Birmingham Railway (L&BR). It took much longer to construct, and exceeded its estimated cost, due to a roof collapse and consequential flooding. At the time of its opening in 1838, it was the longest railway tunnel ever constructed. (2,423 yards - 2,216 m long).
During the first lock down it was closed, and major repairs to the line and drainage took place. It re-opened on the 18th May 2020.
Like I said about the 'Banespa Building' photo, I originally took this picture with a monochrome conversion in mind, but at the time I thought the final result was too 'heavy' in the eyes, but seeing again now after being in that same place for 2 times last week, yeah, it's still heavy, but the architecture in the area with brutalist influences and the 'dramatic' sky, well, it's a heavy atmosphere there, so I'm comfortable to post this photo because despite its 'heavyness', it's not unfaithful to the scene I was seeing at that moment.

Ventilation tunnel surrounded the powder storehouse and ensured it was properly ventilated. Good ventilation was necessary to control humidity levels, since dampness could render the gunpowder unusable.
A lantern was the sole light source in the storehouse and was placed in an opening in one of the walls, near the tunnel entrance.

Levis Fort#1 National Historic site of Canada were built by the British Army on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River to protect the City of Quebec from a possible American invasion. Three Forts were built between 1865 and 1872. Fort #1 presents remarkable technological innovations for those years. This fort has been beautifully restored by the Parks Canada.
There are multimedia exhibitions on the history of Fort #1, a casemate, a powder magazine, vaulted ramparts, tunnels or a shooting gallery.
