The works of the Metropolitan extension railway in Smithfield, 1864. Creator: Mason Jackson
The works of the Metropolitan extension railway in Smithfield, [London], 1864. View from the bottom of Cow-cross and St. John-street towards the south-west. The Finsbury Extension of the Metropolitan Railway, a line of three quarters of a mile, from the present terminus near the head of Farringdon-street to the proposed City station at Finsbury-pavement, is making rapid progress with its excavations and brickwork, under the direction of Mr. Armstrong, whom the contractor, Mr. Kelk, has placed in charge of these operations...The Metropolitan Extension of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, diverging from that line at the bottom of Skinner-street, before it reaches the intended approach to the Farringdon-street station, will pass up Snow-hill, beneath King-street and West-street, to join the Finsbury Extension of the Metropolitan Railway...The brickwork shown in our Illustration, and now greatly advanced, is to form a basement for the new meat market, which will be situated directly over the railway in the western part of Smithfield...St. Bartholomew's Hospital, with St. Paul's Cathedral behind, and the pinnacles of St. Sepulchre's Church, may easily be recognised'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mason Jackson showcases the impressive works of the Metropolitan extension railway in Smithfield, London in 1864. The view from the bottom of Cow-cross and St. John-street towards the south-west reveals the rapid progress being made on the Finsbury Extension of the Metropolitan Railway under Mr. Armstrong's direction.
The intricate brickwork shown in this illustration is a testament to the meticulous planning and execution required for such a monumental project. As described in "Illustrated London News" in 1864, this three-quarters-of-a-mile line will connect the present terminus near Farringdon Street to the proposed City station at Finsbury Pavement.
Notable landmarks such as St. Bartholomew's Hospital, St. Paul's Cathedral, and St. Sepulchre's Church can be seen in the background, adding historical context to this bustling construction site.
Mason Jackson's attention to detail captures both the grandeur of these engineering feats and their impact on London's ever-evolving landscape. This print serves as a valuable glimpse into Victorian-era transportation advancements and urban development efforts that continue to shape modern-day infrastructure.
