Railways in Birmingham in 1838 by Galahad
One of the very first railways in Britain ran from Euston in London to Curzon Street in Birmingham. The two ends of the line had very similar doric columned grand stations. The Birmingham building still stands and is just visible from the current main line into New Street, on the right, as you approach Birmingham from London or Coventry. It is now being developed as the new Royal College of Organists HQ when thay will leave their present site near to the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Jan 2005 The restoration project for the Royal College of Organists will cost GBP8.2m and is due to be completed in 2006
