Euston lost tunnels: Melton Street
Been waiting to get in here for years :-D Original tube station for Euston, now used to host a huge 1960s fan blowing fresh air down into the tunnels. Sadly soon to be demolished for HS2 :-( All the different sections will be recycled to restore other Leslie Green stations

Local mill-owner Sir William Houldsworth commissioned Alfred Waterhouse in the 1870s. Construction took place between 1881 and 1883, paid for entirely by Houldsworth,[1] with consecration in 1883. The church was named after Houldsworth's wife.[2] Described by Pevsner as "a superb job, big-boned, with nothing mean outside or in",[1] the church is of Openshaw brick with Wrexham stone dressings. An almost separate belltower contains eight bells cast by Taylor.[3] Pillars supporting the nave's roof were transported from the nearby canal to the site on the backs of elephants from Belle Vue Zoo.[2][3] There is a marble screen with four figures on top, possibly the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The strikingly modern Stations of the Cross, by Graeme Willson were commissioned in 1983, and include local views such as Stockport Viaduct, and Pendlebury Hall on Lancashire Hill, Stockport.
