| | |  Bridge & clock to be removed from King's Cross station
A 100-year-old clock, along with the bridge that is famous as Harry Potter's entrance to the imaginary platform nine and three quarters, at King's Cross Station in London, England, are set to be knocked down as a part of major expansion plans.
Protesters have started gathering to campaign against the destruction, and Ptolemy Dean, an architect and TV presenter, had the following to say: Quote:
"King's Cross will lose its rather beautiful and lovely structure which characterises it's views. It's a gateway to the north really and one feels very sad that it's going."
Thanks to SSer Steelsheen for the tip! | |

I wish they weren't doing the construction work until after the Hp films after all Hp is so much more important than any stupid expansion plans.

Ptolemy Dean? Surely JK wrote this article with a brilliant name like that.

And then there can be a place for Potter fans to get their pictures taken as though they are walking into Platform 9 3/4.

If the clock is 100 years old, they should keep it.
As for the bridge, if that's not historical in any way, I have no problem with them removing it. We have to remember that King's Cross is, first and foremost, a public transportation hub. Not a movie set. They shouldn't have to change their renovation plans because a movie wants to film there.

I don't think they should remove it, but if they do then they have to have a good reason for that.
I trust them,they'll make it look good

That's so special to be old. They can't just remove it now! I hope they come up with something good if they remove it anyways.
