Synopsis
For many years in the Victorian era Britain led the world in railway architecture, with the great arched station sheds often seen as the nineteenth century equivalent of mediaeval cathedrals. Once specific railway buildings became necessary around 1830 British architects never looked back, and some of the UK's passenger stations are among the great works of their age. Though the style of these buildings followed contemporary fashions, their designers handling of space and of large crowds of people were something quite new, with glass and iron being used to produce elegant platform roofs and many exploiting the decorative potential of cast iron. Between the 20th century's two world wars, architectural progress on Britain's railways was largely confined to London Transport, but the last few decades have seen a renewal of confidence and investment, matched by some interesting new buildings.
