Description: Proposal by Charles Pearson (1793-1862) for a central railway terminus for London. The illustration shows the planned layout of the station centred on Farringdon Street between Fleet Street and Holborn Hill, with capacity for four railway companies 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' and expansion space for one more, 'E'. The railway lines arrive from the north. Despite much lobbying from Pearson, the station was never constructed.
