Stones believed to be part of a giant arch that used to stand at
Euston railway station are being retrieved from an east London
waterway.
[...]
The stones are being lifted from the Prescott Channel, where they were
used to fill a hole in the riverbed.
[...]
British Waterways will lift the stones from the channel, near Bromley-
by-Bow, on Monday to enable barges to use the lock to transport
materials in and out of the Olympic Park for the 2012 Games.
[...] the Euston Arch Trust [...] wants to rebuild the arch between
two existing lodges on Euston Road.

Doric Arch Stones Recovered from Prescott Channel
Historian Don Cruikshank was in the water as a crane lifted some
stones out of the - appropriately named - Prescott Channel to deepen
the water for Olympic barges.
Why "appropriately named"?
