revealed on platform 1 canopy; this may be significant as the company re-organised in 1935 by dropping the (1926) part of the Ltd name, making me wonder if the removal of the glass roof and installation of the replacement canopies took quite a while to achieve. The history website above gives the completion date as 1938, but the information on platform 1 suggests a start may have been in 1935 perhaps, or even earlier. On the other hand, the steel fabricator may have been using an old stencil, but it is strange that the (1926) title doesn’t appear on the platform 2 steelwork - only the later 1935 company name.

In addition, I have been slow in taking a shot of the inner part of the passenger overbridge which has been painted white with black and grey sides. Remedied as below;

Sadly, since the last report the script has been covered with undercoat and white paint and probably won't see the light of day for another 80 years.
