Euston Arch Trust

The Euston Arch was a powerful symbol of the optimistic spirit of the Victorian railway. Its demolition in the 1960s confirmed that blandness and lack of imagination had replaced the heroic vision of the past. Since then, the enormous popularity of the restored St Pancras, soon to be followed by a restored King's Cross, has shown that celebration of the past and potential for the future are not mutually exclusive. The restoration of Euston Arch would restore to London's oldest mainline terminus some of the character and dignity of its great neighbours.

The Euston Arch Trust was set up by a group of historians and architects in 1994 following the discovery that material from the Euston Arch survived at the bottom of a river in east London. The Trust campaigns for the rebuilding of the Euston Arch, using as many of the original stones as possible.
