Initial steelwork construction phase of the new Snow Hill station by the contractors EC & J Keay Ltd in April 1910. One of the main girders can be seen here supported on the timber trestles after being moved along the temporary four rail track. These girders were 89 feet 8 inches long and 9 feet 6 inches in depth and the heaviest weighted 59 tons. These girders supported the platforms and trackwork across the basement parcels area at the north western end of the station adjacent to Great Charles Street.
