Something a bit different 1. A sundial monument in the remains (no pun intended) of the church yard at St Pancras Old Church after the railway has had two goes at the church yard. In the nineteenth century for the original St Pancras Station and again in the twentyfirst for the approach to the new "MML" platforms. The descriptive similarities of the two events about coffins and bones lying around are almost unbelievable!

Something a bit different 2.The ancient architecture of St Pancras Old Church.

Impressive twentyfirst century architecture of the new St Pancras Station. Unfortunately in the wrong place as externally it's ruined the original St Pancras Station.
