The image showcases the reconstruction of Platform 1, as the old wooden platforms were demolished and replaced with new structures. It was taken on the 22nd of October, offering a glimpse into this transformative process. From the vantage point at the end of Platform 1, we are treated to an extraordinary view towards the Lawn area. The scene is filled with activity and echoes of progress. Workers can be seen diligently laboring amidst piles of debris, their efforts shaping a modernized future for this iconic London station. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era when steam locomotives ruled these tracks.
