The sixties really were an appalling decade for a "slash and burn"
attitude
to anything old.

No worse than the Victorians

The Victorians did, saddly, destroy some fine earlier work. But their
own building were generally good.

That is, of course, a matter of opinion

Agreed. It's an opinion that is as valid as the opinions that Euston is "a
rather good modern station" (Richard J) and "one of the finest examples of
1960s architecture in Britain, and indeed one of Britain's very best railway
stations" (Tony Polson).

The second may be saying the first, if Polson thinks that every building
from the '60s is worthless and that railway stations are generally
abysmal failures. I'm willing to believe the first claim, but not the
second.
