In 1974 I was working as a Steeplejack , when two of us, had a job surveying the frontage of Liverpool Street Station . It consisted of a drop about every 4 feet along the frontage , hanging on a Bosun’s Chair armed with a large notebook and some coloured pencils ,detailing every crack and fault in the building , interesting task …

If you watch the Elephant Man film (John Hurt) parts were filmed in the old Liverpool Street Station.

I loved the description of Liverpool st, it brought back so many memories of when I first started work in the City and later used the station whilst coming on leave from the Army,
More of the same please!

I was born in the late 50’s looking at some of the old photos brings back memories of how lovely the station used to be with all the great architecture we are now losing to these horrible greenhouse type station designs, they are just awful and have no “personality” or ambience.
I never found it hard to find my way around these lovely old stations. The people were more polite unlike now everyone just pushing past people, no orderly queues, oh to bring all that back. Also see some of the old steam trains which I can just about recall seeing at around 2 years old and when I paid a visit to the Bluebell Steam Railway the minute I walked into the ticket office the old familiar smells were there and it was a step back in time to better days.

A message for Diana who posted on August 8, 2014:

Diana, if you are the daughter of Clive and Doreen I would like to contact you in relation to your mother’s family. I left a message on your Facebook page, but it looks like you do not use that very much. Hope to hear from you.

To Linda/Diana

apologies to the author for taking this thread off at a tangent but I am a Coni researching family history, and am descended from Charles, one of the children of Adolphus and Mary Ann(e); I believe the other children were Jules, Alfred, Frank, Florence, Augusta and Edith. (I would be happy for this website to pass my email address to you for contact).

Linda –

Re: 44 Liverpool Street (The White Lion)

James Walker was also my Gt.Gt.Gt. Grandfather (publican at The White Lion). I am also researching the Cohni family. Incidently Mary Anne Walker did very well (financially)marrying Adolphus Cohni as he came to have a Tailors Shop in Saville Row, London. Somewhere along the way – you and I must be related. I hope you read this!

I spent time a few years ago at the Bishopsgate Institute researching Liverpool Street. My great-great-great grandparents managed a pub called the White Lion at 44 Liverpool street until sometime between 1869 and 1971, when I believe it was compulsorily purchased to build the station. Their youngest daughter secretly married, against their wishes a tailor called Adolphus Coni, working opposite . She must have been forgiven as my great-great-great grandmother went to live with them in old age!

I worked in the station in the 1970’s for about a year. Very happy memories.
