Blackfriars Station Blackfriars station, built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway on the south side of the River Thames, was opened in 1864. The line over Ludgate Hill was removed, together with the bridge, and a new line built that drops down steeply from Blackfriars station and burrows under the buildings and Ludgate Hill to emerge at Farringdon via the old Snow Hill tunnel (previously disused for half a century), with a new station built underground. The façade and concourse at Blackfriars were rebuilt in the modern style but fortunately one of its architectural treasures, a wall with the many destinations that could be reached from Blackfriars engraved upon it, was saved for posterity. www.semg.org.uk /location/blackfriars_01.html   (525 words)
