Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Waverley Station roof, near to Edinburgh, Great Britain.
Classic Victorian railway station roof in the 'Crystal Palace style' with panes of sheet glass held within a framework of iron girders supported by cast-iron columns decorated with moulded capitals. The roof is about to undergo a major restoration which will take an estimated three years to complete. The project is a vast undertaking. Waverley is the second largest railway station in Great Britain (over 25 acres), being orginally a combination of three stations belonging to separate companies: Canal Street Station, which lay on a north-south axis, and the stations of the Glasgow-Edinburgh Railway and the London and North-Eastern Railway meeting at a central concourse. It is estimated that 28,000 panes of glass will be required for the renovation. <a title="http://www.edinburghguide.com/story/transport/4780-newroofforwaverleystationmovesstepcloser" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.edinburghguide.com/story/transport/4780-newroofforwaverleystationmovesstepcloser">Link</a><img style="padding-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/> |
