The S front seen from the terrace of St Pancras station. Built 1851-2 for the Great Northern Railway to the designs of Lewis Cubitt, who wrote that "The building will depend for its effect on the largeness of some of the features, its fitness for its purpose and its characteristic expression of that purpose" [Steven Parissien , The English Railway Station (2014), pp.11-12].

Built in 1851-2 for the Great Northern Railway to the designs of Lewis Cubitt. The arches supporting the roof were originally of laminated timber, but were replaced with wrought-iron plate in 1886-7. List description: list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1078328 . I think that a fault had resulted in this half of the station being virtually deserted - the train that I was about to catch usually leaves from one of these platforms, but departed from platform 0, on the east side of the station, to the confusion of people who were expecting to find a different train there.

Designed by John McAslan, engineered by Arup, and opened in 2012. Looking N at the exit that leads towards St Pancras International. The couple in the centre of the photo were eating their lunch, and showed no sign of moving, so must be regarded as a feature of the photo, rather than as an obstruction!
