It all depends which way you look at it!

I walk down Midland Road every weekday morning on my way from St Pancras Station to my office, past these beautifully restored and extended buildings. What you can see in the photo is all new - well, built within the past 10 years or so - and shows the station with an extension for the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel above it.

The brickwork mimics very effectively the original station within (dating from 1868) and I for one think these modern extensions fit sympathetically with the old. Indeed, they converge well, both metaphorically and literally.
