There is a slight misunderstanding though. Britain might have been obsessed with the future, but its always looked at its passed. It looked at history from a rather monumental and antiquarian perspective. There are numerous grade 2 listed buildings spread throughout the capital and have always wondered why Syria never tried to match the importance it gave to hits history. Its appalling what some vandals get a way with let alone the authorities. Prime example is the state the Aleppo citadel is in. me being from the north, last time I visited, i was shocked at the graffiti. But i like the idea of the Hijaz station. would that be operational too? that would the resurrection of a truly missed piece of history. haven’t seen it yes, but heard of the opening.
