Description

"St Pancras Railway Station" in #London, opened in 1868 as the Midland Railway's London terminus, is a Victorian building. Engineer William Henry Barlow designed its revolutionary single-span iron-and-glass train shed: the world's largest enclosed space at the time. The ornate gothic revival facade, including the Midland Grand Hotel, was crafted by George Gilbert Scott in red brick with soaring clock tower and intricate details.
