Blackfriars Station

Inscription

These stones were part of the facade of the original Blackfriars Station opened in 1886 when it was the hub for travel to and from many of the business capitals of Europe.

There are 54 stones in total, but it is hard to believe that places like Herne Bay and Sittingbourne were ever business capitals.

Thanks to our colleague Alan Patient for these photos, taken in 2018, of the concourse showing the memorials. But we have failed to find a picture of the old station facade showing these stones in place. If you know of one please let us know.
