round thing outside liverpool street

In article . com,

Secondly, the other thing ive noticed is that, since liverpool street
mainline station was extended south by about half its size (you can
tell by looking at the dirtyness of the roof, and there is a join in
the brickwork at the far end of the busstops) in 1992, the underground
station entrances would be completely outside the original station. But
looking at some old pictures of the station, there is an entrance road
to the station there, so how did you get to the tube?

You are wrong about the extension.

Liverpool Street used to have short platforms (1-8), very long platforms
(9-10), and long platforms (11-18). In 1992 the short platforms were
lengthened but 9 and 10 were cut back and the concourse extended over
them. Um, something like this:

Was:

+-----------------------------------
| | =============
| Offices | =============
| J | =============
|--------------------+ =============
L =====9/10 tracks==================
|-----+ =========================
| | =========================
| O | =========================
| |# =========================
+------#----------------------------

with the L showing where the entrance to the Circle Line was and O
indicating office space. The # marks show where there was a staircase up
to Bishopsgate; the "Apples & Pears" pub was underneath it while the
"Jazz" was where I've put the J.

Now:
