History

Although the present station building is in the International Modern style, Euston was the first inter-city railway station to be built in London. The International style was a major Architectural style of the 1920s and 1930s

The station and the railway that it served experienced several changes in management, being owned in turn by the London and Birmingham Railway (1837–1845), the London and North Western Railway (1846–1922), the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (1923–1947), British Railways (1948–1994), Railtrack (1994–2001) and Network Rail (2001–present)

The former Great Hall of Euston Station.

The original station was opened on July 20, 1837, as the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway constructed by Robert Stephenson. Events 1304 - Wars of Scottish Independence: Fall of Stirling Castle - King Edward I of England takes the last rebel stronghold Year 1837 ( MDCCCXXXVII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common Robert Stephenson FRS (16 October 1803 &ndash 12 October 1859 was an English Civil engineer. It was designed by a well-known classically trained architect, Philip Hardwick^[1], with a 200-ft (61 m) long engine shed by structural engineer Charles Fox. Philip Hardwick (1792-1870 was an eminent English Architect (son of architect Thomas Hardwick (junior (1752-1829 and grandson of Thomas Hardwick Senior A foot (plural feet or foot; symbol or abbreviation ft or sometimes &prime – the prime symbol) is a non-SI unit Charles Fox may refer to Charles James Fox (1749–1806 British politician Charles Fox (composer (1940—) film and television composer Initially it had only two platforms, one for departures and one for arrivals. Also designed by Hardwick was a 72 ft (22 m) high Doric propylaeum, the largest ever built^[2], which was erected at the station's entrance to serve as a portico and became renowned as the Euston Arch. The Doric order was one of the three '''orders''' or organizational systems of Ancient Greek or Classical architecture; the other two Canonical A Propylaea, Propylea or Propylaia (in Greek &mdash Προπυλαια is any monumental Gateway based on the original Propylaea that serves The Euston Arch, built in 1837 was the original entrance to Euston Station in North Central London, England. Interestingly, Stephenson's original plan was to route the railway through north London so that it terminated where King's Cross station currently stands, but after encountering severe opposition from landowners, he was forced to build the railway through Tring, Watford and Harrow, and terminating at its present site at Euston. King's Cross station is a major railway terminus opened in 1852 Tring is a small Market town in the Chiltern Hills in Hertfordshire, England. Watford (ˈwɒtfəd) is a town and district in Hertfordshire, England, situated 19 miles (30 km northwest of London Harrow is a town in the London Borough of Harrow, North West London.

Until 1844, trains had to be pulled up the hill to Camden Town by cables as they did not have enough power to get there under their own steam. Camden Town is the district of London, England around Camden High Street, in the London Borough of Camden.

The station grew rapidly over the following years as traffic increased. It was greatly expanded in the 1840s, with the opening in 1849 of the spectacular Great Hall (designed by Hardwick's son, Philip Charles Hardwick), built in classical style. Philip Charles Hardwick (1822-1892 was a notable English Architect of the 19th century who was once described as "a careful and industrious student of mediaeval The term Classical architecture has a specific Archaeological meaning relating to the architecture of Classical Greece It was 126 ft long, 61 ft wide and 64 ft high (38. 1 m by 18. 6 m by 18. 9 m), with a coffered ceiling and a sweeping double flight of stairs leading to offices at the northern end of the hall. The station was further from Euston Road than the front of the modern complex; it was on Drummond Street, which now terminates at the side of the station, but then ran all the way across the front it^[3]. A short road called Euston Grove ran from Euston Square towards the arch. Two hotels, the Euston Hotel and the Victoria Hotel, flanked the northern half of this approach.

Apart from the lodges on Euston Road and statues now on the forecourt, few relics of the old station survive. The National Railway Museum's collection at York includes a commemorative plaque and E.

New building

The concourse of the present-day Euston Station

In the early 1960s it was decided that the old building was no longer adequate and needed replacing. Amid much public outcry the old station building (including the famous Euston Arch) was demolished in 1961-2 and replaced by a new building, which opened in 1968. Year 1968 ( MCMLXVIII) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Its opening coincided with the electrification of the West Coast Main Line, and the new structure was deliberately intended to symbolise the coming of the "electric age".

The modern station is a long, low structure with a frontage of some 647 ft. Part of the station building includes two office towers that look out onto adjacent Melton Street and Eversholt Street, and are home to Network Rail. Network Rail is a British "not for dividend" Company limited by guarantee whose principal asset is Network Rail Infrastructure Limited a company limited All of these buildings are in a functional style and the main facing material is polished dark stone, which is complemented with white tiles, exposed concrete and plain glazing. The station has a single large concourse populated with the usual assortment of shops and eateries, and is separate from the train shed. A couple of small remnants of the older station were kept, two Portland stone entrance lodges (one of which has been a women-only bar since 1995) and a war memorial on Euston Road, but were hardly an effective sop to those offended by the loss of the former building. Portland stone is a Limestone from the Jurassic period quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. A statue of Robert Stephenson by Carlo Marochetti that stood in the old ticket hall now stands in the forecourt where it looks down on a convenience food stall. Robert Stephenson FRS (16 October 1803 &ndash 12 October 1859 was an English Civil engineer. Baron Carlo (Charles Marochetti (1805-1867 was a sculptor born in Turin, but raised in Paris as a French citizen The frontage of the station building is hidden behind office buildings designed by Richard Seifert and a bus station. Richard Seifert ( 25 November 1910 &ndash 26 October 2001) was a British architect best known for designing the Centrepoint There is a large statue by Eduardo Paolozzi named Piscator at the front of the courtyard. Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi KBE, FRA ( March 7 1924 &ndash April 22 2005) was a Scottish sculptor Erwin Friedrich Maximilian Piscator ( 17 December, 1893 in Greifenstein -Ulm – 30 March, 1966) was a German Theatre A series of other pieces of public art including low stone benches by Paul de Monchaux around the courtyard were commissioned by Network Rail in the 1990s.

The positioning of the departure board aids the flow of passengers by encouraging those who are waiting to keep well back from the busy platform entrances. A secondary walkway under the main concourse provides passengers leaving suburban trains with a shortcut to the Tube. The positioning of the platforms helps keep the station warm and dry, while the access ramps have room for passengers to queue without obstructing the main concourse. The station has 18 platforms, with 8 - 11 being used exclusively for London Overground and London Midland commuter services, and are therefore equipped with automatic ticket gates. Two of the platforms have extra length, in order to accommodate the 16-car Caledonian Sleeper services.

Architectural Controversy

Euston's bleak 1960s style of architecture has been variously described as "hideous"^[4], "a dingy, grey, horizontal nothingness"^[5], "an ugly desecration of a formerly impressive building"^[6], a reflection of "the tawdry glamour of its time" entirely lacking of "the sense of occasion, of adventure, that the great Victorian termini gave to the traveller"^[7], and "the worst of the Central London terminuses, both ugly and unfriendly to use"^[8]. Writing in The Times, Richard Morrison stated that "even by the bleak standards of Sixties architecture, Euston is one of the nastiest concrete boxes in London: devoid of any decorative merit; seemingly concocted to induce maximum angst among passengers; and a blight on surrounding streets. The Times is a daily national Newspaper published in the United Kingdom since 1785 when it was known as The Daily Universal Register. The design should never have left the drawing-board - if, indeed, it was ever on a drawing-board. It gives the impression of having been scribbled on the back of a soiled paper bag by a thuggish android with a grudge against humanity and a vampiric loathing of sunlight". ^[9]

Access to parts of the station are difficult for the disabled. The ramps that descend from the concourse down to platform level are too steep for unassisted wheelchairs and the Underground station, taxi rank and car park are all directly within the building but are inaccessible to people in wheelchairs as none are step-free. The latter two are accessed by staircases near the front of the building.

The demolition of the old Euston Station building in 1962 is regarded as "one of the greatest acts of Post-War architectural vandalism in Britain" and is believed to have been finally sanctioned by the then Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. (Maurice Harold Macmillan 1st Earl of Stockton, OM, PC (10 February 1894 &ndash 29 December 1986 was a British Conservative Politician The attempts made to preserve the building, featuring notably the Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman, led to the formation of The Victorian Society and heralded in the modern conservation movement. A Poet Laureate is a Poet officially appointed by a government and is often expected to compose poems for State occasions and other government events Sir John Betjeman, CBE ( 28 August 1906 &ndash 19 May 1984 was an English poet writer and broadcaster who described himself in Who's Who The Victorian Society is the national charity responsible for the study and protection of Victorian and Edwardian architecture and other arts in Britain ^[10]; the new train shed being low-ceilinged, making no attempt to match the airy style of London's major 19th century train sheds. The loss of Euston Station may however have saved the high-gothic St. Pancras Station when similarly faced with demolition by British Rail in 1966.

1973 IRA Attack

Extensive but superficial damage was caused to the station by an IRA bomb which exploded close to a snack bar at approximately 13. The Provisional Irish Republican Army (Óglaigh na hÉireann ( IRA; also referred to as the PIRA, the Provos, or by some of its supporters as the 10 on the 10 September 1973, injuring eight commuters. Events 506 - The Bishops of Visigothic Gaul meet in the Council of Agde. Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar. The Metropolitan Police had received a three minute warning but were unable to evacuate the station completely before the device exploded.

In 1974, the mentally ill Judith Ward was convicted of this and other crimes despite the evidence against her being highly suspicious. Judith Theresa Ward (nee Judith Minna Ward) was born January 10, 1949. She was completely acquitted in 1992, and the actual culprit has not been apprehended ^[11].

Privatisation

Following privatisation of the railways in the 1990s, the station was taken over by Railtrack and was subsequently transferred to Network Rail.
