A Brief History Of St Pancras Station
St Pancras train station was designed by William Barlow in 1863 with construction commencing in 1866. The famous Barlow train shed arch spans 240 feet and is over 100 feet high at its apex. On its completion in 1868 it became the largest enclosed space in the world. One of the most recognisable features of St Pancras station today, the red brick Grade 1 listed Gothic front facade was created as part of a competition in 1865 and became the Midland Great Hotel designed by Sir Gilbert Scott and built between 1868 to 1876.
In 1935 the Midland Grand Hotel was closed and the building became railway offices, known as the St Pancras Chambers. The greatest threat to the station came in 1966 with plans to amalgamate King's Cross and St Pancras. However public opinion had been sharpened by the demolition of Euston in 1962. Sir John Betjeman took up the cause to protect the station and in 1967 the Government listed the station and hotel as Grade 1.
St Pancras remains one of the greatest Victorian buildings in London, with impressive Victorian Gothic architecture. A replica of the famous St. Pancras station clock has been constructed and hangs high above the station platform once more.

Only one of the four gasometers serving the area around Kings Cross has been left standing in the wake of the Eurostar regeneration. The one on the left - officially known as "Single Gasholder No 8" is the lone survivor and faces an uncertain future.
Originally erected by the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company in 1880 and decommissioned in the 1980s. All the Grade II-listed gasometers have been carefully stored with planes to restore them once work on the St Pancras Eurostar rail link (and the regeneration of the area) is completed. Camley street nature reserve too has been reprieved.
