. . . this newly restored lobby at King Street Station will greet you. (Best viewed large or full screen: click photo, click All Sizes, click large or original). The pillars had been stripped of their marble and a false ceiling put in place. It's all been put right now and the gloom is gone, highlighting the lovely old mosaic compass rose floor and gorgeous plaster wall ornaments surrounding upper portals which bring light into other rooms. People can be seen waiting in the departure area which doesn't appear to have been restored yet. More of this grand old station's details tomorrow. Have a lovely Sunday!

I love train stations! They did a great job!
That is a great looking station, ours - being a small town - is nothing special.
It is a pity nobody is doing a Bristol DPB as the station there is one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's wonders.
Mark, that is SO not funny! GOOFBALL!!! I HATE YOU! LOL! ;)
Sorry Kim...someone likes to take cheap shots!
I covered the Bristol station brilliantly if you ask ME!
LOL!
