We objected and so did @hbap1924 @GeorgianGroup @archaeologyuk @SAVEBrit We are relieved to see this planning application was turned down. Cantilevering over or around a listed building must not become a way that heritage protection can be set aside.

The Euston Arch was built as the entrance to Euston train station in 1838. 🚂 This image dates from the late 19th century, and shows horse-drawn vehicles taking people to the station. Following an unsuccessful public campaign to preserve it, the arch was demolished in 1962.

Queen Victoria was born 200 years ago today! Despite six assassination attempts she lived long enough to be the longest reigning monarch up to that time. Here is her final resting place, the Frogmore Mausoleum in Berkshire.

Amongst the moss and grass of Crystal Palace Park, fragments of a majestic past remain. #onthisday in 1851, the monumental Crystal Palace opened. It subsequently moved to south London, but tragically burnt to the ground in 1936, leaving only the stone arches and statues...
