Summary

Description
English: Doric Arch at Euston; demolition begins.
View towards Euston Station. The famous Doric Arch was 'in the way' of the approaches to the New Euston and in spite of vigorous protests by many eminent people it was condemned in October 1961 by Ernest Marples, then Minister of Transport supported by the Conservative Prime Minister (Harold Macmillan). The breakers moved in on 6/11/61 I took this photograph on a wet 12 February 1962. When the new - and dreadful - 'Great Hall' had been completed in 1968 it was found that there was plenty of room after all.
