Once the main longitudinal girders were in position 36 foot long cross girders at 12 foot intervals were erected between them. This picture shows progress in 1910 from a position near the corner of Snow Hill and Great Charles Street looking up the hill towards Snow Hill tunnel. The raised cross girders on the right would support the future platforms Nos.10 and 12, while the lower cross girders on the left would support the up relief loop and sidings trackwork.
