These are an amazing set of pictures and remind me of how important it is to make sure the new scheme doesn’t happen. I wish I were in London and could come to the meeting but thanks to you I have added my comments about the scheme online and offered there how utterly unsuited it is for such an historic and important building for London and for the country.
I first saw/experienced Liverpool Street station on a regular basis traveling from west London to visit Raphael Samuel at his Elder Street house for meetings. Also many visits over the years to explore the architecture of the area, such as the Hawksmoor church, the inimitable Severs’ House. the Phillip Webb houses; the Flower market; the Bishopsgate Institute and others.

WOT?
No photos of the enormous ginger cat that used to frequent the area on the concourse next to the two pillar-boxes?
Or the dogs’ leg bridge?

Betjeman did it for St. Pancras. Now it’s up to us to SAVE LIVERPOOL STREET STATION!
Write to the Planners, and give money to this worthy cause, else another grand London landmark will be subsumed by a hideous modern monstrosity.

Thank you.
