I have been following the plans for the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station with the utmost interest, partly because I remember, but only just, the last time there was a campaign to save it in the mid-1970s.

The campaign was so successful that the new south entrance which was added in the 1980s was done in a historical style, so much so that people probably don’t realise that it is a modern addition.
