Close up of image 'lnwrn&s1324' showing part of the up
platform with the waiting room located in the centre and toilets on the left.
On the left is a London & North Western Railway poster board which would
have been painted black with white framing and white lettering. The LNWR
standardised it's colour scheme for buildings early on as it did pretty much
everything, and it never changed thereafter. There is more than a suspicion
that they simply picked the cheapest pigments and used those! Planking,
valencing etc. was painted in one of two colours, stone or cream, the former
was a buff shade and was by far the most widely used. Used with these was a
darker shade, either Light Brown or Dark Brown. Window frames were always
white. These colours were used on all buildings, including signal boxes.
Station signs & notices were black with white lettering & framing, as
were running in boards.
