Title
Demolition of the old arched roof in 1913, showing the rolling gantry used to assist the work
Description
In 1909 a new suburban booking office and platforms were opened to the west of the main building, accessed from Bridge Street. It was 1912 before work began on rebuilding the old Joint Station itself including upgrading the track layout to provide 13 platforms, and improved storage, parcels and fish-loading facilities. The arched roof was replaced by a pitched glass roof over the concourse only with cast iron, glass and wood canopies extending along each platform. The new station, completed in 1915, forms the core of the station as it is today.
