By John Christopher. Published by Amberley Publishing, Softback, 96 pages. Colour and B/W photographs plus drawings and informative text.

This fascinating selection of photographs and accompanying text traces some of the many ways in which St Pancras Station has changed and developed of the last 150 years. Once nearly redundant and threatened with demolition, St Pancras was built by the Midland Railway in the Gothic style with the world’s largest single span roof when completed in 1868 and having linked cities including Leicester, Derby, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester with the capital, it now serves as the London terminus of Eurostar.
