Exhibition extended until 12th June 

The triumphant re-opening of St Pancras Station last year as the new Eurostar terminus, is a tribute to the work of the Victorian Society, which in 1966 was instrumental in helping save this great Victorian railway station from demolition by British Railways.

The Society celebrates its 50th anniversary this year marked by this exhibition of photographs. These illustrate its early defeats in failing to preserve the Euston Arch and the Coal Exchange – but also its many subsequent victories – the Foreign Office, the Albert Dock in Liverpool – which demonstrate the Society's success in changing public attitudes towards the best architecture of the 19th century, and the continued relevance and use of this for the 21st century city.
