The sixties really were an appalling decade for a "slash and burn"
attitude
to anything old.
No worse than the Victorians
The Victorians did, saddly, destroy some fine earlier work. *But their
own building were generally good.
That is, of course, a matter of opinion
Agreed. It's an opinion that is as valid as the opinions that Euston is "a
rather good modern station" (Richard J) and "one of the finest examples of
1960s architecture in Britain, and indeed one of Britain's very best railway
stations" (Tony Polson).
rIGHT ON!
