The Transformation of St. Pancras Station and the Midland Grand Hotel: a talk by Nigel Lowey

This talk is not about trains, and not much about railways - it's about an interesting bit of history, amazing engineering and world-class architecture - and a great background story! It describes how the fantastic mid-Victorian Gothic railway cathedral came to be built, and how the long-neglected building underwent a breathtaking transformation.

The speaker is Nigel Lowey from Nottingham, whose original amateur interest in the St. Pancras buildings led to him getting further involved and becoming a minor expert, described as a historian of the building.

The talk will be via Zoom (link to be advised). It will last around 55 minutes, followed by an opportunity to ask questions of the speaker.
