The final letters of a Victorian builder of King’s Cross streets
After my father died we found a bundle of letters from the 1870s under the bed at his little London office. They were written to my grandfather by his grandfather Robert James Stuckey. With the help of designer Sue Smallwood they have been turned into a beautiful book.
The most famous street that Robert James Stuckey built Keystone Crescent is now featured in the opening scenes of the film A Boy Called Christmas which is viewable on Netflix and Sky.
It has recently been reviewed in the neighbourhood press.
