Description
A view of Marylebone Road, Marylebone, looking east by Baker Street station. At left, one of two entrances to Baker Street station, built 1863. This entrance is on the west side of the station. In the distance, Madame Tussauds Exhibition, a waxworks museum built 1883 by Joseph Randall, a grandson of Madame Tussaud (1761-1850) who learned the art of wax modelling during the French Revolution. In this view, the original building and dome can be seen. In the distance, the spire of St Marylebone Parish Church. In the road, there are three Hackney cabs; two heading east, one heading west on the right-hand side of the road. Two omnibuses are heading west. There is a large Victorian-style street lamp in the road on an island with bollards. There is a crowd of pedestrians outside the station entrance; men in bowler hats and straw boaters, two women with open umbrellas. The station entrance was demolished in an extensive remodelling of Baker Street station in 1911. It exists, much modified since 1911. Its exterior is Grade II* listed, listing number 1239815. Madame Tussauds was devastated by fire in 1925, bombed in 1940, and rebuilt.
