More Good news for our heritage

Henry Irving

The Euston Arch is coming back

Lady Irving spent the early years of her life in a council flat right opposite the arch above the fire station.

"The arch was the first great building of the railway age, the largest Grecian Doric gateway ever made and a building of great beauty and international architectural and historic importance."

Maybe a point lost on the architects and planning authorities of the 60's......?

This is great news, the architectural vandals usually win every time, unfortunately.

It's sad that we have so little pride in our rich cultural heritage. Once it's gone, it's gone.

It's nice to see some good news for a change.
