Name: The Transformation of St Pancras
Start: 2025-09-11T19:30:00+01:00
Location: Coddington Village Hall

Speaker meeting. A talk by Nigel Lowey.
St. Pancras was a 14-year-old Christian boy who was martyred in Rome in AD304 by the Emperor Diocletian. In Britain he is better known as a railway station.
This talk is for anyone with an interest in history, world-class architecture, elegant engineering, or a great story; it covers the incredible changes of mid-Victorian Britain, and describes how the fantastic cathedral-like station came to be built and how the long-neglected buildings underwent a breathtaking transformation. It's not about trains.
All welcome, £2 at the door for non-members including tea/coffee and biscuits after the talk, or become a member of our friendly group for £10 p.a.
