ITN finally wake up to plans announced ages ago to demolish Victorian bridge in Kings Cross

You do despair sometimes of national media - the plans to get rid of the Victorian 'Handyside' bridge that featured in Harry Potter have been around for ages.  Where was ITN with its local roots when residents were trying to get a decent planning result for the station ?  No doubt there will be a lovely glass bridge fit for a shopping centre with a nice digital clock.

The Ladykillers - original trailer

An absolute classic, filmed in the streets around Kings Cross in 1955 and serves as a wonderful historical record of local streets (albeit embellished with the odd set - such as Mrs Wilberforce's house) and the age of steam.  For more details see the Kings Cross Environment post here.
