Former Victorian Great Central Railway Station in Great Central Street, Leicester was semi derelict and suffering from neglect and graffiti when photographed. The ornate ceramic tiles over the entrance to the parcels offices show a quality which is sadly lacking in much of today’s architecture. An original iron gate incorporates the Great Central Railway monogram.

The former stone built railway station on Marine Drive Central, Morecambe was the ultimate destination for many holiday makers wishing to spend their annual summer leave in this once popular resort. Kids could decamp from the train, cross the road and be on the beach before their parents could say ‘Jack Robinson’. Large hotels and bed and breakfast establishments were within easy walking distance. The building has been converted to a Tourist Information Centre and pub. Midland Railway monograms are found in the stonework above the main entrance and exits.
