Massive “London 1875: Capital of an Empire” display captures the squalor & beauty of the Victorian era

The Bricks to the Past group in the UK unveiled their latest large-scale collaboration at the Great Western Brick Show (aka STEAM) a couple weeks ago, and it’s a sight to behold.

Featuring scenes from Victorian London at the time of the Industrial Revolution, the display was built by James Pegram, Jimmy Clynche, Simon Pickard, and Workshysteve

The display not only includes street scenes, great architecture, and other above-ground details, but also extensive underground detail, such as sewers, crypts, and fossils.

    Having seen this in the “Flesh” a couple of weeks ago at The Great Western Brick Show AKA Steam 14 I can say that this is another outstanding piece of work from the chaps at Bricks To The Past There are so many details, great building techniques and so much history in this build it’s mind blowing
