Sir John Betjeman - St Pancras Station
Sir John Betjeman was responsible for saving the St Pancras station and the Chambers from demolition in the 1960's. In tribute to the famous poet and railway enthusiast an 8.5ft sculpture by Martin Jennings has been designed to celebrate the man and his poetry.
The poem at the base of the statue reads:
And in the shadowless unclouded glare
Deep blue above us fades to whiteness where
A misty sea-line meets the wash of air
In the distance you can see the famous St. Pancras Clock, which has been re-constructed by the original makers Dent and hangs high in the apex of the Barlow shed.
