"Euston Arch:" the original entrance to Euston Station, as enlarged, ca 1851

Like Inigo Jones some 200 years earlier, Hardwick was inspired by Italian architecture, following a trip to Italy in 1818-19. These influences manifested themselves particularly in his famous 'Propylaeum' or Doric Euston Arch at the old Euston station (1837), designed for the London and Birmingham Railway (the Arch was demolished in the early 1960s to make way for construction of the current Euston Station building). The gates of the arch are stored at the National Railway Museum in York. At the Birmingham terminus, Hardwick also designed Birmingham Curzon Street Station (1838).
