I love trips down through history.

Maybe.<br /><br />It still looks like a grandiose vanity project to me, a waste of good lead.<br /><br />Mind you, if it was left to me we'd be making buildings of timber and cob.

I think we undervalue 50s and 60s buildings. Many have been badly altered over the years and lost the original design under a weight of "improvements". <br /><br />The station is still pretty clean and original, as is Banbury down the line. Both from an era when optimism played a big part in design. Yes, we lost important buildings but at least people wanted to look to the future and make new things. Now we try to wallow in a past that never existed and try to avoid doing anything interesting.

The first post war mainline station for example. and the circular market building. Oh and the cathedral of course.<br /><br />Interesting isn't the same as attractive orgood, mind you.James Finisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351798531269786632noreply@blogger.com
