Clock tower, London St In beautiful winter sunshine, the clock tower of Sir George Gilbert Scott designed Midland Grand hotel is seen keeping correct time according to my camera's timecode. The hotel, that was built after William Henry Barlow's better-known trainshed opened, was opened in 1873 and represented the last thing in Victorian opulence. The hotel building is primarily of polychromatic brick construction and in a style derived from the Italian gothic. Could you ever consider a situation where the hotel and the conjoined station could be demolished as was seriously being considered by BR in the 1970s?
