Euston Arch: Dan Cruickshank finds piece in the River Lea

http://www.eustonarch.org

In 1994 Dan Cruickshank discovered an estimated 60% of the 4,400 tons of the Euston Arch buried in the bed of the Prescott Channel at its junction with the Channelsea River that runs into the River Lea in the East End of London. The location of the rubble had been revealed by Bob Cotton, a British Waterways engineer, who stated that the rubble had been purchased in 1962 to fill a chasm in the bed of the Prescott Channel. A fluted section of a column was recovered from the river bed.

There is now a campaign set up by Dan Cruickshank for the Arch to return to Euston Station. See http://www.eustonarch.org for more information.
