Moor Street Station: gwrms1709b

Close-up of the northern corner of the concourse where the General waiting room and the Ladies waiting room were situated

Close up of image 'gwr1709' showing the northern corner of the concourse where the General waiting room and the Ladies waiting room were situated. Next to the General waiting room door is a weighing machine with potted plants either side. Despite this being wartime on the wall are adverts for holiday destinations. West Country locations feature predominately with a large poster advertising the Cornish Riviera and two smaller posters for Pwllheli in North Wales and St Ives on the wall. A temporary board extolling Cornwall and Devon now leans against the wall obscuring other posters. One speculates that this board may have previously been positioned in the centre of the concourse. In later days a Wymans bookstall occupied the site where this board stands.
