Victorian architecture lost

It's not really progress when buildings are replaced with spaceship or Minecraft-like designs.

There's not much inspiring about modern, soulless architecture.

Yep, this is sad. Victoria station deserves a place here too but that's been discussed elsewhere.

In mitigation, a couple of those buildings (the Crystal Palace and the wheel thingy in Blackpool) were never intended to last long. And the thinking regarding the future of railways (and hence railway buildings) must have been very different in the 1950s and 60s, when the car looked like the way forward. All the same, it's often cheaper to demolish and rebuild than restore old buildings, and sadly we tend to take the cheap option.
