The use of 48 columns on a platform of 270 feet long meant that
they were very closely spaced with about 5 feet between the column faces. This
rather inhibited the movement of passengers and luggage carts. The refreshment
room was to the extreme left of this photograph with waiting rooms between it
and the main entrance, which was behind the ad-hoc windscreen built from timber
boarding and fixed to the columns. It is thought that the boarding was an
attempt to reduce the wind and inclement weather that would blow through the
opening from the platform through to the forecourt or vice versa. Photographs
also show that similar boarding was fixed on the columns to the up
platform.
