King's Cross Bridge Used in Potter Films to be Destroyed From Station Expansion

ITN is reporting that the bridge at King's Cross that has been featured in many of the Potter films may be torn down as part of major expansion plans. A 100-year-old clock, also seen in shots from the films is expected to be demolished.

According to ITN, the Architect and TV presenter Ptolemy Dean is leading the campaign to stop the bridge being destroyed. Dean says, "King's Cross will lose its rather beautiful and lovely structure which characterises it's views. It's a a gateway to the north really and one feels very sad that it's going."

As, readers of the books will know King's Cross plays a important role in the chapter named after the station in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and is the last location we see in the books.
