EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and bustle of Euston Arch in 1960, just two years before its demolition. Located at Euston Station on Euston Road in Camden Town, London, the Arch was designed by Philip Hardwick in 1837 as part of a screen and portico around the station forecourt. The classical design features tall, ornate columns adorned with intricate detailing, providing a striking contrast to the urban landscape and the traffic that flows beneath. The image showcases the Arch in its final years, with a steady stream of cars and people passing through. The pillars, once a symbol of Victorian grandeur, now stand as a testament to the relentless march of progress. The traffic outside the Arch seems to encroach upon its once regal entrance, a poignant reminder of the changing times. Eric de Mare, the talented photographer, expertly captures the essence of this iconic London landmark, immortalizing it in this timeless image. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the history and significance of this magnificent structure. Today, the site where the Euston Arch once stood is a hive of modern activity, but the memory of this grand Victorian entrance lives on in the hearts and minds of those who remember it and in the pages of history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the beauty and history that can be found in the most unexpected places, even as the world around us continues to change.
