I walked past the old entrance building to euston underground recently and
surprisingly it hadn't been turned into a shop but was shuttered up and
had lots of machinery noises coming from inside it. Whats it used for now,
ventilation? Are the passageways inside still connected to the station or
are they blocked off?

Which one, you mean the Hampstead Tube one at the corner of Drummond
Street? I think the CSL one has been obliterated, but would have been
somewhere near where the bus station meets Eversholt Street.

Melton street according to google maps - goes along the west side of the
main line station. Building id on a corner. Perhaps I'm wrong but it
definately had that old tube station look about it.

My old map (1908) shows a station at the south west corner of the junction
of Drummond and Melton Street, and another (the CSL) on the SE corner of
Drummond Street (now Doric Way) and Seymour Street (now Eversholt Street).

Yes, it's on the corner of Drummond & Melton streets.

(#2 has a couple of interior photos, which support the ventilation
theory)

Very interesting. Something isn't quite right with the supposed location of
one of the blocked off passageways he mentioned but photos can be
deceptive.

Those old posters on the walls would be worth a mint to the right collector.
I'm surprised LU doesn't rescue them before they completely fall to pieces
and auction them off for charity or something.
