Euston Arch

We have our really big battle at Euston station here. I'm not really sure why we chose it, but we did. We mainly chose it for the Arch. It was built in around 1837 and made completely of granite.

It's no longer here because a bunch of guys dismantled it to make way for some renovations to the station that never actually happened.

[Legend has it] that it was taken and used to stone a garden! The mighty Euston Arch is no more. [these outbuilding] are all that are left, one of which is now a ladies-only bar called the Glass Bar.

The arch was around for 125 years. It's sad that it's no longer here, because it really was a historical site - a mighty symbol built for the glory of railway travel.
