Another Successful Meeting

What a good start to the Winter Talks season. 80 members and guests met at the Sir Julien Cahn Pavilion, West Park last Friday to hear and see Nigel Lowey's presentation on St Pancras Station and hotel, London.

Why the station was built in that difficult area, through the period of British Rail ownership to the recent refurbishment which was completed on time. If you have spare time in London just visit the station and see for yourself.

Thank you Sir John Betjeman for saving this fantastic building.
