Passengers crossing from King's Cross or simply accessing St. Pancras

from the Pancras Road entrance back in the early 1980s were greeted by this fine London Midland enamel across the steps. I often wonder whatever happened to these fine and very large signs, were they simply unceremoniously ripped down and crushed or safely removed and now in the custodianship of a proud owner? On the reverse side of this enamel was different wording that can be seen in the next photograph of this sequence. Notice the advertisements by the side of the steps, the second one up is for the 1981 Benson and Hedges cricket cup a number of matches of which were held at the nearby Lord's in St. John's Wood. Incidentally, Northamptonshire won the 1981 cup by a nail-biting six runs against Essex on 19th and 21st July.
